This question was posed by Robert Logan and the answer he
got follows and then his comment on the answer he got. This is a fascinating
look into how the wheels of government work, what you can actually say and get
away with—your tax dollars at work.

Request No. Robert
F. Logan 1-6 Witness: William S. Weber
REQUEST: The failure
of the buyer or buyer’s agent to perform Due Diligence implies that
the buyers are accepting the sewer capital in an “as is” agreement. Why does your
agreement in the signed Purchase and Sale waive what is standard criteria in
almost all acquisitions even in “simple” home purchases?
RESPONSE: The VDE
has performed the necessary Due Diligence and has been updating the information
as circumstances dictate. A copy of the entire Due Diligence package has been
available since May 2nd, 2013 at www.eastmanh2o.org or at the VDE office during
regular business hours Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
Robert Logan’s
comment on the above:
Every document in the entire claimed
Buyer’s Due Diligence on the VDE website is a SELLER’s document. This conveys
that the VDE actions are on the part of the seller. NOTHING is presented that
indicates ANY independent buyer financial or engineering analysis. Would an objective person conclude that the VDE Commissioners have acted on behalf of the
seller and are the seller’s agent? Is this acting in the Public Good?
