This is why it's always good to ask what's up

Because we asked, Mitch felt obligated to come out and explicitly say, "'I do not intend to privatize the Sewerage and Water Board" today. That's good to hear even though it's still worth paying close attention to the details of the coming management reshuffle.

Anyway, a week ago, we were being told that, because the rain would have overwhelmed the pumps even if they had been at 100 percent of full capacity, that it didn't make any sense for us to ask about them.  It's true about the rain. But it turned out that it was worth asking anyway.  It's always worth asking.
