Friends or Reservoirs call foul on Leonard's latest water rate increase.
Portland city council meets tomorrow to set water rates for the fiscal year beginning July first.
Commissioner Leonard is asking for an eight point one percent rate increase - this on top of rate increases of fifty five percent since two thousand and eight.
Citizen and business groups are calling foul, citing unnecessary pet projects and the on-going funding of vacant Portland Water Bureau positions.
For more, KBOO’s Joe Meyer spoke with Floy Jones from Friends of Reservoirs, a Portland citizens’ group.
