There are 39,636 people living within the city limits of Jefferson City. If we just take the government figures for a family of three or less living below the poverty levels, 3.9% of the population is in this segment.
1546 individuals are living below the poverty level in Jefferson City in household of one to three members. (The number is really greater than this because larger families have not been included.) Who are going to pay for them to have garbage pick-up?
We are.
The mayor has stated that the city would help those who cannot pay to pay for the service. The number above can mean that approximately five hundred households will be subsidized by the city.
I guess there goes the money the city collects from the contract. Remember: Allied Waste pays the city a bond of $250,000, 200,000 annually for the duration of the contract, and 7.50 per ton of waste picked up.
