By the way, I am not a registered member of the Green Party (or any party), but I challenge anyone to show that I am not as "Green" or more so. I know that our recycling can be made more comprehensive and convenient; it is stagnant now! And I still think about the equity of all those nickels I pay. I have a feeling we are paying more than costs and reasonable profit for a fair market, and this should be studied by Councilpersons. Not contracted out. Studied by we, your elected servants.
Others have pointed out fraud in the local recycling business, based on City finances, but their knowledge has been put down by ad homynym tactics rather than addressing their allegations reasonably and with proved auditing outside the good ol boy network. This can save us more $$$ $$$. I will use my own legal counsels and not rely on the city attorneys and city managers to tell me what to do. I will listen to, and question, mind you, these people. But I expect there are lawyers and others who would joyfully serve through such public service, for much less money.
