- Barbee Sewer - Trimming Trees - One-Party System Barbee Sewer Editor, Times-Union: Who exactly is David Doctor? I never heard of him until a couple of weeks ago. By what authority does he try to speak for the whole Barbee Area as far as sewers are concerned? As far as being a resident, he has one vote per property owned - no more, no less! At least the last sewer board was formed by a vote of the residents and with the backing of the property owners association.By what right does David Doctor speak for me as a property owner (two, in fact)? I think the $306,000 is a pretty small cost of the total sewer system for the Barbee area.It will be there when needed - no need for it now.
