“I emailed, actually, Jeff Poteet about this today. It's not about the reports. As always, they're wonderful, and all your information is appreciated. Today, I was walking my dog, and in between a couple of houses... One of the pipes coming out of the ground was gushing water. It should not be. Ironically, a City of Marco water sewer truck drives by. I flagged them down. They turned around promptly. got out and addressed the situation and fixed the leak. So I emailed Jeff today.

“On these additional charges, we brought this when Chris was here, however, meetings ago, and he admitted that there was going to be extra charges. One thing I think we have to remember is, and unfortunately Marsha's not here to defend, because she said all of these things several meetings ago. We're not there yet, but we are getting there. And this has been a growth process. Chris said it last year, and they said it again this year. You can't build Rome in a day. We are fixing things as we go. I can say, because when I was on the audit advisory committee, CLA was in the middle of the road for…”
