How could three backups fail? A letter to the editor  It is
unconscionable that, after all the megamillions spent and the
lessons of Katrina, the Sewerage & Water Board had this power
failure. And not only did the primary system fail, but three,
yes three back-up systems failed.  The failure was not just
mechanical; it was administrative. Tell us why everyone that had
anything to do with maintenance, periodic testing or catastrophe
planning should not be seeking employment.  And guess what we
will hear? "We need a higher millage for S&WB improvements!" Mr.
Mayor, this ball is in your court. Let's see you score!  Robert
