Return Of Government Takeover

The Lexington Herald Leader is back on the water takeover bandwagon. The evil perpetuated by RWE now involves the most democratic of business moves: taking their company public.

If all those energetic folks who want the government to condemn the water company really want local ownership, they should put their money -- and not taxpayers' -- where their mouths are. Buy some shares.

Today's editorial adds nothing of value to the debate. Just more whining. More on the way between now and election day.
