If we do not take extra taxes, we will not be able to provide what citizens depend upon us for.

We know we have to contribute about $400,000 of property taxes in 2007 and 2008 into pensions and $475,000 into the pension this year. Pension obligation is first; it's not an option.

This year's team is a new team. But that is not the mentality our competitors will have (against) us.

It will allow us to fine-tune everything.

This reservoir will enable us to keep a constant pressure in our current system. We haven't had problems with water availability, but just with low pressure, and this should eliminate that.

Globe is a very special customer to us and we hope that everything will work out and they can stay in the Selma area.
