The Water Rate Advisory Committee meeting proved how statistics can be made to lie. Finance director Kate Zawadski presented only half of the staff report on the water system financials, that of the accounting balances in four separate funds, to illustrate the supposed dire financial condition of the city run water system.
Left out was the staff report on yearly revenues versus expenses which tells quite a different story depending on a person’s expertise in digesting this material. While Zawadski claims that the system had an “operational loss” in every year, the truth of the matter is depreciation, a non-cash expenditure which is an accounting tool for tax purposes and which does not reflect the true replacement cost of the assets involved, was the “expense” driving these losses.
Five teachers from Maine Prairie spoke to the Board of Trustees on Thursday night, September 7, 2023, during public comment to voice their displeasure stating such things as “we shouldn’t have to share with outsiders” and “I don’t like what I have heard about the Teen Center.”

There are two other groups of teams which have won four times in the past.
The Dixon City Council approved the second reading of an ordinance designed to eliminate sidewalk vendors within the city limits of Dixon. While it was pointed out that no ethnicity other than Hispanics would be affected, the council led by councilmen Thom Bogue and Don Hendershot again was in complete denial of this fact.
