There's going to be a meeting at the Longbranch Coffeehouse tomorrow night to discuss organizing protests about Mayor Cole's proposal to privatize C'dale's water:
"Please spread the word about this meeting and try to come to the meeting and bring friends! This coming Tuesday, 7-9PM at Longbranch Coffeehouse. Privatization of Carbondale's water would be TERRIBLE. These corporations that buy local water systems have a pattern of raising the prices sky high and also neglecting the infrastructure. There are plenty of testimonials from cities that did privatize their water and really wish they hadn't. Some have had to sue for years to get it back! We must convince the City Council members not to do this! Please come for the discussion and planning. See the flyer attached and spread the word!" Barb McKasson
My bet is that the Mayor gets everyone so stirred up with his water privatization proposal that one of the other proposals slides through with nary a hint of protest. As PeterG pointed out in comments, Mayor Cole has done an extremely good job of defining the conversation on his terms.
