City to privatize recycling; deliver curb-side service to households - Chicago Sun-Times



Oh for the love of all things! I do hope the City Council doesn't let this happen.

This Mayor is trying to go out with his pockets full of taxpayer dollars. This is probably one of his worst Brain-Farts since selling our Parking Meters. Hey Mayor Elect, put the brakes on this once and for all.

It took how many years to figure this out? Really?

Let me see, if I put more emphasis on picking up trash, I wouldn't have much of a rodent problem. Yeah, that does make sense.

But wait, I have a better idea. Let's cut back on trash pick-up from three (3) days a week, no wait, two (2) days, no even better, one (1) day a week, and the rat problem will resolve itself. Really? Wow! You really have to give it up for this Mayor, and these "Oh Crap" moments. I guess they reasoned the "Stray Cats" will do the work for free, since people have to stuff bag, after bag of garbage to the point the lids will not close, that this will draw out the rats, and the cats will pounce at dinner.

Really Mr. Mayor? Really?

I guess I wasn't the only one that noticed this.


As soon as "They" said no cost of living increase, prices shot up around the country. Remember that? Thank you Sun-Times for noticing this also.

I have to admit, this is going to be fun.


I imagine after the "Swearing In", there will be more swearing once in office. That should be a very refreshing change with this new administration.

Hello Governors and Mayor's across the the country.

Well you are looking at budget deficits huh? Well if you are in need of a simple cash cow, look no further than the power of weed. Anyone that argues against the "Legalization" of marijuana, is just simply uninformed, or ignorant of facts. The old arguments of "Gateway Drug" are false, and unsubstantiated. The time is now for a serious discussion, and implementation of removing marijuana from our crime books. This plants "Known" medical benefits have been established for centuries.

Marijuana was ruled illegal, only because of the "Timber Barons Lobby" that viewed it as a threat to their pocket books, back in 1936. 1936? Come on now! People are, and will smoke pot for not only medical reasons, but for recreational reasons also. Just like they do booze. Remember when they tried to ban booze? How did that work out? Oh right, it was taken off the ban list.

Case closed. Legalize marijuana and tax the hell out of it.

This article is indeed, some food for thought.

As I type this I'm tuned in on WGN watching a spring training game as my Cubs take on the Seattle Mariners.

In all honesty, so far I've liked what I've seen from my team this spring. Confidence is the key with this ball club, and so far they are showing much of that. As for being a Cub fan since 1964, I'll just sit-back and watch, and hope for the best.
