Interesting this letter makes suggestions as to the causes of the proposed 7.5% tax hike, fails to mention that the school enrollment is down about 30% yet costs continue to rise. Sometimes what people omit can be as telling as what they say.
With all due respect Besty, this is misinforming voters as this issue has been studied ad nauseam by multiple bodies since 2022 when the prices doubled as recycling markets collapsed. If the goal is to recycle effectively (rather than pretend to do so) then the answer is self-evident, sorted is better by an order of magnitude, but some politicians lack the courage to make the difficult choices and instead avoid change.
Kathy,
What exactly are you upset about?
As a taxpayer (not a taker) you should be furious that your tax dollars are going to everywhere and everywhere except America.
Imagine if you owned a business and every year someone came in and robbed your business until 2025. Enter Elon Musk, who is able to confirm and prove to you who the person is that keeps robbing you, would you go after the burglar or are you going to be upset at Elon?
Also, Trump ran on exactly what is taking place...the majority of we the people, voted for just that....there might even be a term for what that's called.
