The Town Council all admitted that they were opposed to sewers in the town, but they hinted that the RI DEM (Rogues Island Department of Everything's Mine) would sue the town because the town accepted grant money to conduct at least two of the studies.
Now, the DEM is supposed to be on the side of the people of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. The last time I looked, the people and dogs of Portsmouth count as people of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations also. So if they sue Portsmouth, they are suing their constituents. Unless, of course, the people aren't really their constituents. Maybe it's other people with deeper pockets who want sewers in Portsmouth for their own nefarious reasons.
And what would they be suing Portsmouth about? Because Portsmouth doesn't want sewers, but a wastewater management district. Why should they care which way Portsmouth tends to its wastewater issues? Because the other two communities on the Rogues Island have a failed sewer system, and want to hook up to a brandy new one in Portsmouth paid for by Portsmouth taxpayers, not them. There is also a lot of currently vacant land that will be sewered so that then developers could build lots of stuff close together, instead of the good distances we have now. Follow the dough . . .
I find it absolutely appalling that the DEM thinks that because they've paid for a few studies that they own the decision outright in spite of the will of the voters and taxpayers, and they aren't even elected.
Well, all I've got to say the Rogues Island Department of Everything's Mine is
