A local smear job

Ron Wells, a member of the Riley County Kansas Commission, was recently tarnished in the media for what is now dubbed sewergate. Ron lives just out side the city of Madtaxes, but his property is connected to the city sewer. The public one, not city hall. Ron has never paid for that service, and neither did his parents when they owned the property. This all came to light after the health director was terminated. The health director learned about it when Ron applied for a permit to convert a building on the property to a rental.
The crap journal is calling it a secret deal and implying Ron is full of BS. Now the County has found documentation confirming what Ron claimed. Back in the early 60's, Riley County installed a sewer main through the Wells farm but didn't get a proper easement. faced with the cost of moving the line, or cutting  deal, they cut a deal and granted the Wells family, Ron's parents, access to the sewer system. This was all done when control of the system was in the hands of the county. Years later, the county passed the system over to the city, but no one mentioned the easement issue, it had long been forgotten. The issue resurfaced when the county commission fired Steve DeHart. Steve decided to stick a knife in the people who had fired him, the commissioners. Wells was an easy target. What were the chances he had a copy of the record?
