Stan Turner, News Director <br />March 2, 1981 <br />Page 2 <br />4. The Met Council proposes to meter the lakes to approximate charges <br />to the suburbs. Yet these meters cannot do this accurately as they <br />will only measure the outflow and not the inflow from the various <br />municipalities, and are basically a waste of the public's money. <br />Rather than turn this letter into a treatise, I will get to the basic point. <br />We have an issue here which has the potential to increase drastically <br />monetary costs to thousands of Metro area residents. I have been of the <br />opinion that one of the responsibilities of the news media is to inform. <br />Yet, to this point I have seen no mention of this issue on your station. <br />It is not some esoteric government function that has no effect on anyone. <br />It can have a large impact in itself and in the principle it establishes - <br />of a City not being responsible for its past actions. <br />Since the decision of the Metropolitan Council is not yet set in stone, I <br />would hope that you would air the issues involved in this matter so the <br />public can be informed as to what is occurring. I and other suburban <br />officials stand ready to discuss the matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Barryfl.. Evdns <br />City nager <br />BRE:vl <br />
