At $199/month sewer rate, the people of Los Osos STILL "owe everlasting gratitude," according to the Trib

TO: Joe Tarica, Editor, SLO County Tribune

Hello Joe,

Hey, I have excellent news for the property owners of Los Osos!

I was just reading Nick Wilson's story, at this link:


... headlined, "Los Osos facing 5 years of sewer rate hike -- and bills of nearly $200 a month," and, in that story, Nick writes, "annual increases of 3% to cover inflation in each of the following three years, reaching a total of about $199 per month by 2024-25."

Ironically, that is excellent news for Los Osos property owners.

You see, back in the day when the Trib was popping out editorial after editorial in support (support!) of the Los Osos CSD's disastrous (and now-failed, of course) mid-town "sewer-park," like the one at this link:


... the Trib also popped out an editorial that read:

"... if (Los Osos CSD) recall proponents make good on their campaign promises by building a sewer system out of town that will cost households less than $205 per month, the residents of Los Osos will owe them everlasting gratitude."

Well, fast-forward to today, and the County of SLO WAS able to "make good" on the "campaign promises" of the "recall proponents," by constructing a sewer system with a treatment facility "out of town," and, since $199 is less than $205, the residents of Los Osos, in 2024-25, will STILL "owe everlasting gratitude" for the people responsible for stopping the LOCSD's "infeasible" mid-town disaster, according to the Trib's own editorial board.

See? According to the Trib's own editorial board, a $199 a month sewer rate in Los Osos STILL deserves "everlasting gratitude" over the LOCSD's failed disaster... that the Trib supported over and over and over again (without ever researching the facts behind that disaster).

And that is excellent news for the property owners of the Los Osos prohibition zone, according to the Trib's own editorial board.

Just wanted to pass on that great piece of news.

Thanks,
Ron
