Sussex Borough Dems looking to open your wallets

As a council candidate I would never be pretentious enough tell you how to vote. I believe you should have the facts to make your educated decision on your own. Selling the water system while not in the optimal situation is a serious decision.

Fact #1: Sussex Borough Council quoted a $400 per homeowner increase by 2019.

Fact #2: Sussex Borough once again provided us unhealthy water which required them to send a notice out.

Fact #3: 30 percnet of Sussex Borough residents are either behind or not paying for water at all.

Fact #4: Aqua will hold our rates flat through 2019, then potentially move us into the NJ rates whey use, which would be cheaper than what we pay today.

Fact #5: Aqua has said they will NOT sell our water or use it for fracking purposes.

The borough cannot, and does not have the financial means to continue to operate the system without raising your rates substantially. If elected, and this system is retained, I will NEVER vote for a rate increase. Those that are representing that we should keep it should find different ways to fund their wants rather than dipping into our wallets once again.

You decide what you can afford.

Maybe it is time they focus on the drug problems in our town.
