Banning On Alert: Huge Water Rate Increase Coming

Like Beaumont; Banning Also Misused All Their Bond Sewer Money & Never Built a Title 22 Compliant Recycled Water Facility.

Remember Duane Burk?

Duane Burk used to be the Banning Public Works Director, but he was chased away with a 'Beaumont Playbook Lie'. The Citizens of Banning allowed a good man to be slandered and chased from his job.

And let's be clear; Duane Burk was fired because he was honest, just like Eric Fraser.

Now Banning's Water Rates are going to double. Imagine that.

In Accounting we call this a Rolling Error.

And let's remind the Citizens of Banning that your City is planning a massive Development for Russ Bogh in the southern part of the City AND a massive housing development for Pardee Homes on North East Highland Springs.

So prepare yourself Banning; you're not in competition with Beaumont to see who can run your City to the ground first.

Spoiler Alert; Since the Cities share the Beaumont Basin and Banning is counting paper water that Beaumont has already consumed; It Will Be A Tie - Both Cities Will Go Down Together. Hurray !

ALERT ! HUGE WATER RATE INCREASE COMING

On Tuesday, Aug. 22, @ 5 PM the Banning City Council will discuss raising Water/Sewer rates - possibly as much as 100 %. - WHY?

Because in 2005 Art Welch floated a $35 million water bond, which Debbie Franklin (and others) 3 years later unlawfully spent on a $15 million "Taj Mahal"police station, violating Proposition 218. Now we have millions of dollars in shortfall.

ATTEND THIS MEETING IF YOU ARE TIRED OF BANNING'S ENDLESS UTILITY INCREASES.
