a good point. when public utilities aren't properly maintained you can bet someone thought about it but decided to spend the money elsewhere.
or in the case of our town didn't want to be the one in the hot seat when the issue was raised. as a member of our town utility commission I brought the issue of setting aside funding for our ancient and failing water piping up. we had to review budgets constantly and never once did I see a dime set aside for digging up old pipes and replacing them. I asked why is this? shouldn't we be budgeting for a repair that is badly needed?
crickets.
