Now that I think about it, water is the one "benefit" (so far) that NY taxpayers don't shell out for.
If people are truly needy, that's one thing. If they're scofflaws who seem to be able to afford to acquire everything else while not paying their bills, that's something else.
"No water bill in NY?" It doesn't say that, but that water is the one [welfare] "benefit" for which NY taxpayers do not foot the bill.
As Martha Stewart might say, reading comprehension is a good thing.

People in NY (on Major Public water systems) Get a Water Bill.
There is no NY State Taxpayer Funded Water Bill Payment benefit.
(There may be small public water system, that do not do "water" bills, The "Cost" is in there property Tax rates for that town, A fixed rate cost per year per property )
Plumbing has been a standard of civilization for thousands of years, the ancients never "cut" your water off, it was free. Albeit, water bills generally can be kept to a very low cost if rationed correctly.
Our city does not get free water. I don't know any city that gets free water. The cities pay for it and then sell it to us.
Many of the residents of Detroit believe the world owes them. They believe that corporate America is the reason for their poverty and that it's all Ronald Reagan's fault, who presumably is still running the country. Not to mention that because their ancestors were slaves, they can't overcome White Man's oppression because it is part of their DNA. Sounds ridiculous? I've had to argue against this foolishness repeatedly on the Detroit forums.

Someone on CD was posting how no one had every taught then how to haul water.
I imagine some American hating socialists care what the UN thinks about how things are done in this country, but most people rightly dismiss them as a bunch of corrupt, incompetent, would be dictators.
I'm feeling ignorant right now because I don't know when, where or who declared free drinking water a Human Rights issue. Can someone refer me, please?
