I recently had a young lady ring my doorbell (despite the “No Solicitation” sign) in SE Michigan with a petition, claiming to be from a group promoting ‘clean water’. (This is a big deal here, with proximity to 4/5 Great Lakes) In questioning her regarding the petition, her group and its views, I finally got to the crux of the issue: They were trying to get signatures to get legislation passed to tie water bills to income. There are widely varying rates among the different municipalities surrounding Detroit, and that fact is may spark debate over why this is the case, quite legitimately. However, any government sanctioned fleecing of people who either worked hard for their good fortune or even those who inherited it is pure bovine excrement!!!!
“I finally got to the crux of the issue: They were trying to get signatures to get legislation passed to tie water bills to income.”
This is probably happening in every blue county/city and maybe state in America.
