Joe C,
The contract required Artesian to take the bad deal (wastewater) in order to get the good deal (water). Thanks to Broomell they got the good without the bad. They got the gold mine, we got the shaft.

Oh, news flash: the great economy just had a fantastic quarter, the GDP was a whopping 0.1%, sounds like revenues will be down. Better tell Tari and her posse.

Again no funds have been transferred. Second, Artesian walked away from a bad deal. Third councilor Broomell saved the RATE PAYERS money because Artesian is granrenteed a rate of return where the county does not. Good for Ms.Broomell and Delegate Smigiel.
Furthermore, the county is undertaking capital projects and not charging those who benefit their prorated share of the bonding costs, while they charged bonding costs for other projects. Put all the pipe in the ground you like, but make those that benefit pay their fair share and don’t put the cost on current rate payers.
