Durham misgivings on the Joint Regional Sewer Authority

Matthew Durham, the suspended Oconee County councilman, has published misgivings about the county government’s relationship with the separate body politic Joint Regional Sewer Authority.  In a newsletter, Durham comments:  “I’m of the belief that the county needs to begin to separate ourselves from the toxic OJRSA relationship.  I recently had a commercial developer tell me that his firm was hesitant to invest in Oconee County due to the dysfunction of the OJRSA and the member cities.” Durham followed that with his belief that an Anderson County offer last spring to partner for a joint I-85 treatment plant was a potential opportunity.
