The Democratic mayor also said her relationship with Lawrence Republicans has been tougher than expected, especially the GOP-controlled city council. Despite the challenges, like any weightlifter she is managing the stress. "I think it's gone pretty well, but we have had some bumps in the road," Cantwell said. "You have to expect that when the last mayor served for 16 years and a Democrat has never held the office. I'm sure there will be more to come." The challenges caused Regina Dillard, 45, of Lawrence, to voice support for the mayor in a letter to the editor in July. "I knew going into her election she was going to catch a lot of heat," Dillard said. "NO. 1, she's a female and, No. 2, a Republican held that position for so long." Dillard, vice president of Communication Workers of America Local 4900, felt a connection to Cantwell's troubles. "I truly understand what it is like for someone to be a first," she said. "I'm the first elected black officer in my local." Dillard said it's time for fighting between Lawrence Republicans and Democrats to stop. "It's human nature to say the election is over, so let's move on and get to the business at hand," she said. "People who are successful are able to do that, and people who canY do that end up disappearing (from public life) because people get tired of the finger-pointing." Dillard goes to Indianapolis City-County Council meetings regularly, ~~ - - / I XI 9 months of 'some bumps' for cityk mayor Page 2 of6 and plans to attend more Lawrence council meetings. She went to one this year and was disappointed in the turnout. She hopes more minorities will take an interest in Lawrence government. "I was surprised, but not surprised, to see there were only two black people," she said. "I was No. 2 out of maybe 80 people in that room." Yet, 80 is a big crowd for council meetings, and Cantwell now sits with the audience. Since Lawrence became a second-class city this year, the mayor no longer leads the meeting or sits at the front table with the council. The council president now presides over meetings. Cantwell and the council Sept. 7 ended months of wrangling over city employees' salaries. Initially, Cantwell proposed salaries, then the council passed its own proposal and she vetoed it. Such "alley fights," Paul Whitehead said, have made the last nine months rough. The Republican took over as Lawrence council president this year and is in his 17th year on the governing body. He is also a 35-year veteran of Indianapolis Police Department. "We've certainly had our moments of conflict and consternation," he said. "It's a matter of both sides trying to come to grips with what their goals are. Hopefully the end results of all our actions and interaction will make the citizens the winner, not one group or party." Utllity rates change family's summer habits Former council president George Keller, who was defeated in last November's election, said afterward that Cantwell's quest to lower water bills might have caused Republicans to lose the mayor's race and three council seats. Lawrence Utilities raised water rates in 2002-2004 to upgrade the private utility. It provides sewer, sanitation and water services for 15,000 households and businesses, and its contract could extend 50 years. "One of my most important goals is to get the utility back and to get water rates reduced," Cantwell said. She filed a lawsuit to cut the utility's ties with the city. Customers of the utility saw no rate increases 1988-2001. When rate increases were passed, the intent was for an 85 percent increase; but, by stacking a 30 percent increase in 2002, a 30 percent increase in 2003 and a 25 percent increase in 2004, Cantwell said rates were raised too high. "The rates were actually raised about 1 10 percent (over three years)," she said. Cantwell said the rate increase should have been spread out over a longer period of time, She said Lawrence Utilities should be part of Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, which oversees rates. The former all-Republican Lawrence council briefly tried to take control of the water issue last year, but tabled its proposal under pressure ikm PnnttxrA1 A maAnn FAA- GllJ .&th .Al:hr mxotfim- L-nL.4 9 months of 'some bumps' for city's mayor Page 3 of 6 He said he voted for Cantwell because she promised to lower utility bills. He was upset the council tried to lessen Cantwell's ability to fulfill her goal. "They did not want to turn the keys over to her," he said. "I didn't appreciate that." Gammon said his family of five pays $ I20 a month to the utility. "I suspect wrongdoing," he said. "Somettung doesn't click there because there is no reason I should be spending that much money. My dad in Indianapolis pays $30 for his water bill." Gammon said he cut back on water use this summer to save money: No lawn watering. No running the faucet while shaving. Less laundry. The family even cut the movie channels from its cable-TV package to pay the higher utility bills. Gammon opened a low-carbohydrate grocery earlier this month on Pendleton Pike, and he hopes the water bill doesn't dig into his pockets. The first bill hadn't arrived last week. "We don't have any idea what to expect," he said. "We don't use water at all, except to wash our hands or for the restroom, so it shouldn't be that high." Whitehead, the Republican council president, said the council could still raise and lower water rates even though the utility is privately managed, but he said the prows is complicated. He said the council let the mayor take the lead for now. "What we have is a legal snarl that has developed, and only because a lot of good people continue to operate the utility on a day-to-day basis does it continue to fbction," he said. Mike Lawson, former mayor Tom Schneider's deputy mayor, manages the private utility.
