Resident files trash lawsuit
Plaintiff aims to remove compulsory service
By Ben Yarnell ben@newstribune.com
Below is a paraphrase of the article:
A lawsuit was filed on Friday, September 17th, against Jefferson City’s trash contract with Allied Waste.
George Massengale, a Jefferson City resident, filed it in the Cole County Circuit Court.
The lawsuit claims that the city violated the 1980 Hancock Amendment to the Missouri Constitution--something I wrote about in a previous blog. (The law does not allow for the levying or increasing of taxes or fees without the approval of voters.)
Neither the city nor Allied Waste had any comments.
