Burnt out bulb. The government has NOT used force. It is a USER FEE. If you want use the service - PAY FOR IT. If you don't want to use the service - opt out. But don't make the residents who mulch, compost or otherwise take care of their own yard waste pay for the service YOU use.
I want less government, too. They should just eliminate the brush & yard waste pickup completely.
it is a fee if it is provided by a business
it is a TAX if it is provide for by the government
if I read this years budget correctly - public servants are collecting yard waste

Once again HYPOCRITE !!!!!!!!!!!
Explain it DV. The city government uses FORCE to make the financially people of the city pay for Proctors, the hair salon, the hotel, the Bow Tie, the appliance store, the bakery, even when people do NOT want to go to these places!!!!
You won't address that use of FORCE by the government will you! The city government USES FORCE and if the people don't pay the tax bills of downtown, then the government seizes the homes of the homeowners.
Of course, DV, you will NOT address that, will you.
How about a user fee for downtown, DV?????? You won't answer that will you? Cluck cluck cluck
At last when people pay for yard waste pick up through tax or a fee, they are getting something for what they pay. But the government's used of FORCE to pay for downtown, what are the people getting? Huh?
In exchange for paying for downtown, the people are getting: Falling tax base Falling home values Falling home sales Falling home sale prices Increased taxes but reduced services Increased blight Increase in abandoned properties
And these above lead to what? More falling tax base More falling home values More falling home sales More falling home sale prices More increases in taxes and more reduced services
Round and round we go and DV will NOT respond and address the facts
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

Maybe REMS should pick up the yard waste
It is user fee. Those who choose to use the service will pay for the service.

So, what is to prevent five neighbors from getting together to each pitch in ten bucks then dragging their rubbish to the designated payer? Better yet, why doesn't the town cut back instead of raising taxes? When I have fiscal problems, I cut back not take from others. A friend of mine and several of his co-workers just took a $10,000 pay cut jut to keep their jobs. Me, I'm going to let my leaves blow into the street where the cars will whisk them downwind. Sticks and branches, I'll cut them up and take them on my nightly walks.

for maximum effect to be noticed by those who run this town drop off your sh!t in front of the basketball courts on curry rd - a great spot for them to blow around
or
you could use the town dump next to district 2
or
any of the towns many triangles that are not posted no dumping

Taxation is the use of force.
Taking taxes from homeowners and giving it to corporate welfare whores is also use of force.
You want homeowners to pay for things themselves.
You want homeowners to pay for corporate handouts too.
You hold homeowners to a standard that you allow corporations to bypass.
It would appear that you have been selected as the designated leaf bag drop off point or your neighborhood.
They came around this morning to pick up the bags. When they were picking mine up, I went outside and told them that all of those bags were not mine. They said that they expected this to happen.
Based on DV's assertion that it's a user fee that you CHOOSE to pay for the service,
Well, then I want to opt out of paying the portion of my taxes that goes to pay for snow plowing. Instead, I will CHOOSE to drive through the snow in front of my house on my way to wherever.
I do NOT go to sleep at the Hampton hotel downotown, WHY then am I FORCED to pay for the hotel? Both my tax money to build it, AND then I pay the county portion of the taxes through my county tax bill!
Ditto Proctors Ditto Villa Itallia Ditto the Bow Tie
Ditto ALL of Galesi properties!!!!!!!!!!!
You're busted, DV, your argument does NOT hold up, not unless I and EACH homeowner can CHOOSE not to pay a protion of their taxes that goes to cover the taxes of all downtown property.!!!!!!!!!!
Let's see what the NON-taxpayer says about that!

Keep paying the fee, dozens of people are depending on you to share the wealth.

We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
