Letter: Article about protest was one-sided picture

TO THE EDITOR:

In the article titled, “Residents protest predatory billing,” I noticed that there was no input or rebuttal to the conflict by the General Services Corporation, who is responsible for the increase in water prices.

The article describes the issue of rising water prices and residential reactions, but it does not make an effort to dig deeper into why this issue has come up in the first place. The article is incomplete and would enjoy understanding the specifics of the issue with understanding the other side of the argument by GSC. 

Perhaps the story would be completed through an interview with a lead worker or an example of a water bill broken down and analyzed. The Daily Tar Heel could reconcile this article by posting a follow-up article in a later issue, detailing new evidence.
