PUB to Conduct Rate Study

Oh Boy! I can't wait!

The results are foreordained. They are brain-dead and on autopilot.

Let me quote from the report that has yet to be written:

“The Brownsville Public Utilities provides services at the lowest possible cost to the customers in its service area. In comparison to other utility providers, we at BPUB are lower in cost while providing a wider range of services than utilities in other service areas.”

Pretty good, isn’t it? Of course this was simply some crap I made up, but they are going to pay for a study to someone to make up the same crap you read here first for free.

They need to scream and holler how they are the cheapest right now, but mark my words well:

The debt levels they are chomping at the bit to swallow will make the results of the glowing study absolutely irrelevant. The present pursuits of stalled and/or expensive projects are keeping rates far higher than they need to be.
“We are the cheapest.” It just doesn’t cut it for me anymore.
