Eben on public utilities


question: 
Autry's administration has proposed shifting the city's public utilities into a separate municipal utility district. Do you support or oppose the idea? Why?
answer: 

I support the Municipal Utility District for two very simple reasons: First, by creating a special board, the district eliminates the governmental bureaucracy and improves the quality of service. Second, it reduces the rates of our customers. So, better service at a lower rate…some things are not that difficult.
