The city manager said manager in the interview, that payment a plan may be an option for those who can not afford the rate increase. Well....if you cant afford the water bill how in the world does he think anyone can afford a payment plan, no common sence...I do not want to get on other things in his town that is wrong, but if you live here you know what they are...

This is absolutely crazy!!! First taxes, now water!! I don't know if we'll be able to afford to live here or not. We are paying an extra $500 a month now living in this city!!
I just pray these city officials come to their senses.

We have to continue to go to council meetings as citizens or our officials will criple us financially. They are not looking out for our best interest. That is obvious. I am worried about the less fortunate citizens, resturaunts and small businesses in town. This is a critical time. STAND UP FOR YOUR VALUES AND FOR JUSTICE. peacefully but boldly

Oh my I have a $200 water bill, how can I afford my half million dollar McMansion built on old cottonfields, 3 cars, computer in every room etc. Face it Crandallites, the town was always a small town of community houses and blue collar people. Now after the influx of those from Dallas it tried to become just another "rich man's surburb" and it now reaps what they sewed. Maybe you all should have settled for modest homes you might be able to afford the outrageous water bills you now face.

We think we as citizens of Crandall should be shown water bills from any City Council Members, Mayor,Mayor Pro-tem,City Manager, City Secretary, Human Resource Director and any other city employees who reside in the city limits. We were personally told by a high ranking city official that his water bill was $70.00 per month. As citizens we think we all deserve an explanation of why his water bill is so small and our bills are so high.Surely this is public knowledge, maybe this information should be printed in the Crandall paper or maybe the Media needs to be enlightened regarding our city being unfair with its citizens because of bad management. And, if this is a violation of the Privacy Act then they should volunteer this information if they have nothing to hide. We are only concerned citizens because we love this city.

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Leo

If you look closely, you'll see a black cloud hovering over a loved one's head. They'll find the smallest excuse for losing their temper or throwing a tantrum, so tiptoe around them or try to jolly them out of their filthy mood. If the situation continues you may decide that it would be better to get the inevitable argument out of the way than to pussyfoot around them any longer.
