Here's a suggestion: How about if the city uses the 8.9 million in the "Rainy Day Fund" to fix the water system? Get it? "Rainy day" = water!

Oh, that's right, we can't touch that money until the council or the city manager really screws the pooch and blows out the budget. Notice I said until, not if. Only a matter of time. Unfortunately, the way things are going, it looks like they'll be less taxpayers and less businesses to shoulder the increased tax burden. Maybe Mr. Lemont will try for another 14% tax increase one day.

From: Improvements to East Providence's water system would come with rate increase, quarterly charge
