For 98 1/2 years the Auburn Water District has successfully adhered to its by-laws to “prevent pollution of the water of Lake Auburn and to preserve the purity of said water.” Until now, the AWD never had to call an emergency meeting to hire a PR firm to do “damage control.” What has changed? Mayor Jason Levesque has removed Lake Auburn protection-minded trustees and replaced them with pro-development trustees. Obviously, trustees believe it is no longer about “Protect Lake Auburn” — it’s about “Love Lake Auburn” and the deception and manipulation that program is creating. We have lots of questions — no answers. ~ Bruce Rioux, Auburn
