Mr. Kelly....a question?

"...Assembly...authorized...a sewage treatment rate increase of up to 9.5 percent..."
"Abbott said a typical AWWU customer pays slightly more than $90 a month..."
"He said the rate change would bring an average customer's bill up to $94 a month."

Does anybody check their math? Or are there a bunch of spreadsheets involved in the background and in the interests of time, and because it's assumed we're too stupid to understand anyway, they just make generalizations? And they just don't want it in black and white that soon they're going to bust the $100 mark? That $5 they're glossing over? by rounding down?...in short order becomes $25, then $50, etc etc until $999 becomes "Slightly more than $500"
And here we are, we've arrived yet again in the financial morass of unsustainable budgets.

I know it seems like such a small thing to gripe about, but.....
For want of a nail?
