The report looks into the miscalculation of population expansion from the oil boom which has led the city to importing sewage from surrounding areas in order to continue running the plant. The Subcommittee finds that taxpayers funded a substantial portion of the bill, and Ray's initial calculation was vastly off in comparison to other historical boom trends.1 pageenOversight RecordsThe Smell of Waste, in More Ways Than OneSenate Majority Oversight Record20: Government Operations2002: Government Efficiency, General Regulatory Policy and Bureaucratic Oversight114Yes
