Council accepts committee report on water, sewer rates

GREENVILLE Greenville City Council on Tuesday unanimously accepted a committee report revising a plan to raise water and sewer rates.
On April 1, the city’s Utilities Committee met to discuss rate hikes for water and sewer service. The committee recommended percentage hikes to 20 percent in September 2021 and 10 percent in March 2022, for both water and sewer. Each subsequent year for three years would see 20-percent increases in September and 10 percent increases in March. Following this, rates for each utility would increase 5 percent yearly unless revised by council.

GREENVILLE An ordinance to increase water and sewer rates was unanimously defeated during Greenville City Council’s Tuesday night meeting.
Council voted 6-0 against the measure. The proposal, as it stood, would have water rates increase 50 percent effective May 1, 2021, and an additional 18 percent Nov. 1, 2021. Sewer rates would increase 25 percent May 1, and 10 percent more on Nov. 1. The legislation would also have the city switch to monthly utilities billing, effective May 1.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch addressed the importance of being aggressive on the base paths during his Saturday morning media session. What he shared included the following, which I quoted on Twitter:
“Your WAR gets dinged whenever you get thrown out on the bases. It’s not valued. People are very aware… players are very aware of that. Winning baseball is good for your WAR too, even if it’s not quantifiable.”
Almost immediately, people began responding critically, opining that Hinch was (pun intended) off base. Feeling that more context was in order I’d prefaced the original Tweet by noting the subject at hand I added that Hinch also said that if you’re safe every time, you’re probably not being aggressive enough.
