More on Garbage--Indigent Vote

From the city council meeting:

The city council voted against the proposed indigent trash service that would have provided Jefferson City homeowners with a maximum of $7.50 per month to pay their bill. The original vote was 4-6.

From Ray Walker:

"Adrian Island passed; indigent trash service (with a twist) defeated:

"The twist? Samaritan center removed from equation; "seed money" advanced to pay the bills (max of 7.50) but the advance would be repaid with funds from the recycle things sold to New World and other details but....

"Medin's impassioned speech in support was very good, very prepared, and very sincere but failed to deliver.
"
Carrol, Medin, Penfold, Ferguson voted for; the rest, including KOON, voted NO."
