Is Chicago throwing away $1 million on recycling carts? :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: City Hall
Obvious answer is always yes. A year ago when I started this little strange, yet true observation page, I informed the readers of the tricks the Board of Education does when it comes to getting, and wasting money.
For those that have forgotten, the print and video news media especially, they "stockpile" items also. That would include coffee, sugar, pencils, pens, computers, and any other item you might see when visiting a school. Then they would go back and say, see, we spent the allotted money, now gives us more. The police department, down the street from where I live, has not one, but two "Blue" trash cans, in the alley, not totes, or carts as they call them. The rest of the neighborhood, none.
When it comes to trampling on citizens rights, missing Tax Increment Funds (TIF), bulldozing airfields, and selling city services, this Mayor doesn't give a rats ass what the people think, or care. He's proven it time and time again with his lock-stepping city council. He would rather waste tax payer dollars defending his horrendous decisions in court, as opposed to just doing what is right, and fair for the citizens of Chicago.
Now we just need for the print and video journalist to track down the Board of Educations "stockpile" locations. They have only touched the proverbial "tip of the iceberg". What really makes this a head-scratching scenario for residents, is the fact that this Mayor, cut, I say again, cut trash pick-up throughout the city. Now he wants to implement "Curb-Side" pick-up? Imagine that just piling up along the front of your home or apartment?
Yeah, Mr. Mayor, let's continue bilking the citizens for all they have. Maybe they should put a camera in that big eye downtown, and turn it right on city hall.
