Council for a long time and I've voted for every storm sewer project that's come through. And when you've been in some of the homes I've been in where the water was just about up to the windows in the basement - and I think we did a good job. You drive around Roseville, you find a nice city. It's clean. It's easy to say I don't need storm sewer because I don't need it. I've paid for two storm sewers. They're never popular.
