DBO - DESIGN - BUILD - OPERATE

Perspective for your consideration … What does it look like when it’s fixed…?

DBO … these three letter can represent nearly anything, but increasingly today they denote - design-build-operate - procurement process. And “good news” the DBO process is approved by our Arizona Legislature.

These three letters denote how we permit a different slant to be achieved respecting “privatizing” of our water. The 90 marionettes masquerading as elected representatives “to serve & to protect” public health and welfare sold your interests out to the world wide multinational water purveyors under the guise …. a privateer’s own self-interest is served by performing contracted activities to ensure high quality …

It strikes me this is the same “self-interest” costume which Wall Street successfully wore to screw us over for an initial no-strings attached bail-out of $700 billion dollar.

It strikes me the current condition of our American economy – “trashed” – is the perfect setting for the multinational-for-profit-water-purveyors to lobby our city, county, state and federal politicians claiming with their “Cheshire-grins” that they can provide safe water cheaper than can public-funded-government-(that’s you and me)-owned-water services…?

The City of Phoenix already has a DBO water facility at Lake Pleasant, were you aware of that…? You might not be as it was snuck in by your City Council during the summer lull a number of years ago. How do we get full open disclosure on the activities of this DBO…?

What I find most interesting is the degree and the extent to which our politicians will go to keep these DBO situations off the front page and behind closed doors. This type of activity always raises the hair on the back of my neck. What about yours…?

DBO . . . while not true in all cases these three letters denote for me … DIRTY BUSINESS OPERATING … especially when it comes to our water.


… People should never be afraid of their government, government should always be afraid of the people …

And let me be even a bit bolder, I am most willing to present and discuss any water issue before any audience in Arizona where open full disclosure and two way dialog is permitted.
