Xavier:  I won't be drawn into a prolonged  exchange of insults with you.  However, I'd enjoy reading those posts which have not been ad hominem attacks.....I guess I've missed them. 

 I do, indeed, feel that Mr. Lawson's plan for significant rate reductions will be very difficult to achieve.  First, as I pointed out, EWEB rates are not out of line with those of other utility suppliers in the state.  They are lower than the State average. The water supply rates are significantly lower than the State average and "on par" with Springfield.  Again, concerns over the wastewater and stormwater rates should be addressed to the City of Eugene, not to EWEB....all EWEB does is collect the fees for the City.  I feel the EWEB Board is composed of bright, capable individuals and, in terms of holding down rates, the "low hanging fruit has already been picked."  

Please point out any factual errors in my posts and I'll gladly correct them.  regards, Gary Crum
