We know they're crooks, but exactly what they're getting out of approving construction in excess of our sewer capacity is unclear. Just cash from the builders, or is there more to it?

Say the sewers go kaput. Who benefits?

Say the sewers go kaput. Who benefits?

Interesting question. I would guess that one of the main beneficiaries, no matter what happens, will be the lawyers. If the sewers malfunction, the towns will sue the county ... lawyers get paid. If we have to expand sewer capacity on an emergency footing, that requires approval from the state ... more lawyers' fees.
