Robert Schoenewald got a grand total of 25% in the election. But that hasn’t stopped him and his latest crusade. Banging the drums for a petition outlawing the city from creating a garbage collection fee. No fee has been proposed, but Schoenewald his buddies Bob Frey and Mike Fortner are launching a preemptive strike against one.
Really, what this is about is this group doesn’t have any real issues to pursue against the city. The city is ending this year with $2.5 million in reserves, about a million more than they expected. Our credit rating is also above average. So, the sore losers have to invent an issue.
Speaking of sore losers, Joe Liptow has been keeping quiet since the election. Maybe his way of protesting a garbage fee is to put his blue recycling bag on his front walk four days before trash day. But at least Liptow recycles!
If YOU want to keep the city’s costs for trash collection down, don’t fall for phony petition drives. Recycle your aluminum, glass, and paper. The city makes $50/ton for recyclables, against paying $42/ton for landfill use. Recycling is good citizenship and it’s good for your wallet.
