Measure U makes no sense, writes Nancy B. Macy, a 50-year resident of Boulder Creek. The measure asks voters in the San Lorenzo Valley Water District to reverse a recent water bill hike and cap future charges. Macy sees the measure as shortsighted and foolish and against all the advice of experts. “Was the structure of the rate increase responsible? Thoughtfully designed by experts? Legally adopted? Is the rate increase necessary and was it carefully considered with public input and adapted to customer needs? Yes, yes, yes and yes!” she writes, while urging a no vote.
