Andy,

 

Looking stupid is what V2020 is all about. And it is permanently recorded in history forever, and available for anyone to look at.

OK, now I really look stupid. I am having a hard time counting Tuesdays in the month of January.

The SEC meets the third Tuesday so it is January 15th.

Hope you’re all confused!!

Oops,

The date for the SEC meeting is Tuesday, January 22, not the 15th.

Sorry.

I'd just dump all my trash on Council member Carscallen's lawn and let him figure out what to do with it. Based on the legislation he votes for, he likes trash.

Moscow City Council is talking trash

The council wants to make all of us use new upscale lidded and wheeled trash cans. That's OK with me. The problem is how the council wants us to pay for trash pickup.

We now have a volume-based billing system. The more you waste, the more you pay. And if you waste only small amounts (relying on careful purchasing and committed recycling), you are rewarded with the cheapest rate of all - what they call the tag-it-all option. That's the option my family chose. We pay the $10.15 basic rate that every Moscow household pays, but we do not pay for the trash cans used weekly. Instead we pay $1.70 to buy green tags to place on our trash can when we do place it on the curb. Since we place our trash can out every 3 to 5 weeks, we save about $4 monthly over the single-trash-can rate.

Saving $4 a month ($50 a year) isn't a big deal, but it is a real economic incentive to both buy with a goal of less waste and to recycle whatever you can.

It's that incentive to recycle that the council is planning to eliminate. Their present plan is to kill the tag-it-all option. Please join me in contacting the city council members to make sure we keep the tag-it-all option.
