PERKINS TWP. Erie County's Huron Sewer District has 3,270 businesses and residences that have gone without a rate hike since February 2006, even though the district is $10 million in debt and can't meet operating expenses.

"I'm pretty negative about this whole plan," Margaretta Township trustee Tim Riesterer said. "The county is just dumping on the townships and municipalities."
