" Let's see. Infrastructure is in shambles according to some. Streets falling apart. Curbs are in dismal shape busted to pieces and falling apart. Got to have sidewalks even though there was no need for them in the 1960 and earlier and moratoriums can be granted for Giant Companies to be allowed to escape the cost.
Streets are snow covered today when in the past one would never see that.
But the city officials can force the home owner to pay for side walks, repair curbs, and the elderly to drive to church on unsafe streets while thousands spent are on providing a solution to a problem they created. Now is this an example of tyranny or what? "

" 1519, you find it very interesting that different households can have different needs? That is crazy, man!

Every household should be exactly like every other household. They should have the same number of kids, same incomes, same make of cars, same religion, etc. I guess diversity is not what Jefferson City Council wants to support?

Treat every household the same.
Give every household the same # of pickups and same sized containers.
Charge every household the same amount.

Diversity is bad.
Compliance is king.
Assimulate or die. "

" The best thing to do right now is call your current council person and express your concern with what is happening on the new trash service. Call them day or night as that is what they were elected to do, is serve you the people. If you are against or support the trash issue, every voice counts. I am also welcoming calls and emails as I am running for the city council position in Ward 1. Please call 573-230-3072 or email tyler.m.woods@gmail.com with any questions, comments or concerns as I would like the opportunity to discuss and assist you anyway I can. "

" Interesting! No report on how many hundreds of thousands that the city revenues are down! Would the News Tribune like to justify the omission of that perhaps salient detail? And nor is there the first bit of evidence of investigative reporting that would show how many thousands of households there are in the City of Jefferson who fall below the federal poverty guidelines but yet city employees can justify that there are only 40 or so households in line for receiving how many thousands of dollars of trash bill coverage from taxpayers via a "respected" charitable, 501(c)(3) organization who will change their standards to now funnel government money?
