There of course are multiple ways to read brief reporting that can only give notice and do highlighting, where as possibly in East Bethel's sewer saga, the devil is in the details.
ABC Newspapers, Eric Hagen reporting, gives high quality online reporting.
Here and here.
Read it all there. It would be improper to excerpt reports that themselves are quite tight and condensed; and I would likely have to repost both items to do either justice.
So read Hagen's online originals. Each is well written.
I did post a comment to each; currently subject to editorial moderation. Expecting them to be publishable, I suggest any interested reader could check the Hagen items mid-week, and see my views. If not published there by mid-week, I have the comments preserved and would insert them as an update to this post.
ANY READER IN ANY COMMUNITY UNDER MET COUNCIL JURISDICTION SHOULD READ THE ITEMS. READERS IN ELK RIVER, (CURRENTLY NOT UNDER MET COUNCIL JURISDICTION), SHOULD READ THEM ALSO - AS PART OF KNOWING WHETHER IT MIGHT BE A GOOD OR BAD IDEA TO SEE MET COUNCIL JURISDICTION EXPANDED INTO SHERBURNE COUNTY. DITTO, FOR READERS IN WRIGHT COUNTY. VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF FREEDOM FROM INTRUSIONS NOT DEEMED USEFUL, OR DESIRED, SO BE VIGILANT.
