Stay Thirsty My Friends

More of our highlights from a News-Press forum on the subject of Water utilities in Cape Coral…

"This is essential for economic development. New business won't come if we don't go through with this. " Pure misinformation.

"Yes this is a city wide concern - half of the city has either already paid or is paying now."

Pure misdirection. If all the lilliputians are BLINDLY jumping off a cliff, do you follow without question?

"This is not a contractor issue from what I can see. This is an administration/council issue problem." Disinformation, from genesis, it is both.

"If you follow the money so well please explain how you know it should have been a $100MM project? Just curious."

Vs inhouse city labor or city mgmt with local contractors, historically, MWH (or Money Wasted Hourly)...

and their subs markups are in most cases 4-5X; but always a MINIMUM of 3X. So, $100 Million is a generous est.

And NO, unlike Watergates DT, I will not meet you in a dimly lit parking structure to discuss particulars.

Stay thirsty & curious my friends, it may serve you well.
