Down The Drain

     Four Jefferson County Legislators have filed suit over a sewer rate hike ordered by the court-appointed receiver who trying to get the county out from under its massive sewer debt...a public works project that sent people to jail and almost bankrupt the entire county.





     I hope those legislators at least have an alternative plan to lay on the table to block bankruptcy, which the Wall Street Journal reported this week, would have an impact well beyond Jefferson County, seriously impacting the ability of all Alabama entities to sell bonds.
     Otherwise what is it? A turf war as the county teeters on the edge? Now that's smart!
