The New Water and Power Board

Mary D. Nichols, President
H. David Nahai, Vice-President
Nick Patsaouras, Commissioner
Edith Ramirez, Commissioner
Forescee Hogan-Rowles, Commissioner

WOW!!!
If first impressions count, we were extremely impressed. When this Board starts counting the pennies on the DWP contracts, they will soon realize that increased contract expenditures are a result of mismanagement. Nick Patsaouras (A+) we are absolutely ecstatic. H. David Hahai (A) we are so very impressed.

Mary D. Nichols (B+) There is no need to hold back Nick and David. The expenses are soon to exceed revenues. This is long long long overdue. A well run company means long safe retirements and a healthy competitive organization. It took a little warming up but Edith Ramirez and Forescee Hogan-Rowles got into the question mode, too.

Man, what a wonderful change! It seems this Board wants to serve in the best interest of the citizens. We remain hopeful. We're not jumping to conclusions just yet. Not until we see some action anyway.

Now about the management-orchestrated bullying and mobbing? It took some guts to throw that wet blanket.
