To the editor,
In Brownton, our head maintenance man has supposedly been trying to take the test for the permit for our water treatment plant. I have heard from people who know there are all kinds of excuses why this doesn’t happen. Really, he doesn’t have to pass the test because the city council keeps approving raises whether he fulfills his requirements or not. He needs to be held accountable.
Our city hires someone to sign this paper. This has been going on for quite some time and needs to come to an end.
