Matthew Eisley, editor of the North Raleigh News and the Midtown Raleigh News, really stirred up the masses recently in a provocative column questioning the idea of shielding large families from the full impact of the Raleigh City Council's decision to impose different water rates based on how much each household uses.
The tiered rate structure prompted Councilman Roger Koopman to persuade his council colleagues to consider mitigating the impact on large families in the future.
Lots of readers had something to say about Matthew's column. Read some of the responses here.
