meeker's hypocrisy

Published Jan. 8, 2008

 So, it turns out that our Green Mayor Meeker uses about 50% more water in HIS household than what he wants us to use....otherwise out comes the surcharge stick.  Of course, none of these draconian actions would he required, had the Mayors office been executing its responsibilities in regards providing the infrastructure that his constituents pay him to manage.  Never mind the fact that rain barrels only work if it rains sufficiently (at which point, presumably we'd not need them).

Is it just me, or was Mayor Meeker smoking some of that confiscated weed, when he proposed this hare-brained proposal ( which will solve nothing other than perhaps keeping him from being ever chosen for elected office again) ?

Oh yeah, as far as the rain barrels go... Did everyone forget about the dangers of standing water? It becomes a mosquito breeding ground and this is not good!!! Anyone remember the West Nile Virus?????

Everyone must stop and think how easy it is for Meeker to sit up there on his throne and make up these fairy tale demands when it doesn't matter if he goes over his 25 gallon a day allowance... Who pays the water bill at his house? TAXPAYERS!

Meeker is a lib weenie. Too late, too little. He waits for a crisis (like the Gov), and then comes out with these extreme demands. I live in a mass metered condo complex, and there is no way to know how much the 200 owners used individually per month. The HOA pays the total bill. What responsible government approved of that concept? What is the incentive to conserve? Duh ?

He might be a Weasel.... but he's also been a Darn Good Mayor ... best that Raleigh has had in decades!

But 25 gallons per person? That is just a bit unrealistic.

Meeker is a weasel.

I want some of that confiscated weed he smokes. I'll need it if I can only use 25 gallons of water. We're suppose to drink 2 gallons a day right? that leaves 23 to flush toilet bathe and cook and clean clothes and dishes. I think this man should of been using his head to dig so9me holes in the ground for wells along the way...LOL

You know, if it means he gets kicked out of office, it would almost be worth the surcharge! What a doofus!

He was smoking something. How on God's Green earth can you measure water usage for each family?
