This proves to me how divisive and disrespectful the Town of Rising Sun is to long term Rising Sun residents at the behest of a trio of elected malcontents from the Maple Heights subdivision, some directors of the Greater Rising Sun Chamber of Commerce and others who have also never lived a day in Rising Sun town limits. So now Rising Sun townspeople are screwed over with higher utility bills, and higher rates should be expected in the near future. Some years ago Rising Sun received an award for having the best tasting tap water in the Maryland but that’s not ever going to happen again because of this ill conceived pipeline, as I recently read how townspeople hate the taste of the newly piped in tap water.

Citizens, voters and elected officials repeatedly told Rising Sun town hall that water from Chester County is a NO GO. But the town approved the pipeline anyway. Now who does Travis Marion think he’s fooling with his online quote “do not feel that our residents should face the burden of high utility rates with no end in sight. We will continue to work hard at easing that burden.”

Well Travis, you were told what would happen to the rates so you and town administrator Bonenberger screwed up very hard and I hope you pay for it in October. ….

It’s not just their bad ideas but how they got them approved with intimidation and scare tactics are what is truly troubling. Voters in Rising Sun need to come out October to vote, if only the town would advertise that date so it could be found on their website. Yeah, there is something that stinks coming from Rising Sun town hall and its not the sewer plant.
