Talking Back to James Gibson

James Gibson is a man who wants a free ride. Well, don't we all? Sorry, it doesn't work that way, Mr. Gibson. For those who came in late, Gibson and his wife Pattie own a run down trailer park in that luxurious metropolis of St. Florian. For years the Gibsons have been hooked onto the Florence sewer line without paying any extra fees. Florence says no more.

Let's look at what Gibson says:

Why should I pay 20% more than anyone else? We'll take a wild guess it's because your trailer park is outside the city limits and the line is substandard. Does that make it any clearer for you, Mr. Gibson?

Why should I have 1 million in coverage? Again, the line is substandard and it serves many families who just might not have incentive to keep it free of things like towels, utensils, etc. You play, you pay.

There are too many homes in the park to provide a separate septic tank for each one. Really? Don't you mean you don't have the money to install these tanks? That's the bottom line, isn't it? You're running a business, but you don't want to invest in any capital improvements.

I feel like we've been singled out. Only because you're running a substandard business offering substandard housing. If you can afford to hire an attorney, you can afford to do the right thing.
