Soivey: The Mayor and Bob Herring called Rugger Construction. We had raw sewage boiling up in the ditch. The town was obligated to correct it. The town paid Smelser and someone should reimburse the town. We can only go back to Kirk Madden. But it's not fair that Kirk pay for it twice. The town doesn't require bonds, but maybe we should.
