Second Ward Town Meeting Tonight

The Second Ward Town Meeting will take place at 7 p.m. tonight TUESDAY at Cook School, 739 Leland Ave.

The format of these meetings hosted by the City Council is an open forum in which residents can air their concerns. While each meeting showcases a ward, any resident is welcome to attend.

Last year, the Second Ward meeting was dominated by calls to disband the PMUA.

The City Council recently voted approval of a comprehensive study on legal, fiscal and engineering aspects of dissolving the PMUA. If the study shows dissolution is possible, the city would then have to get permission from the state Local Finance Board to proceed.

Meanwhile, the PMUA is looking into rate reduction to ward off such a move, as one of residents' strongest objections to the authority is the rate structure.
