Garbage Hauling Rates DROP with Weekly Recycling PickUp

Glad we did not opt for Automated Trash Pickup Service.
Mrs. Hopey says that McCandless people who are getting the Automated Pickup next month will throw their trash in Franklin Park, specially in Brookpark III and that could be a problem. She wants to see if Police would monitor such activity. She made this statement in the Pre-Meeting on Sep 21, 2011.
Waste Management has been awarded the new Trash Hauling contract:
Unlimited service drops to $14.75 per month with weekly recycling pickup, Seniors Stickers to $1.71 and Standard Stickers to $2.27 .
Backyard service drops to $21.57 per month with weekly recycling pickup, Seniors Stickers to $1.85 and Standard Stickers to $2.46 .

Borough Cash Accounts close to $4 Million

Borough Cash Accounts keep on growing larger and larger. When I joined Council in 2006, we had a $1 Million Short Term Debt. Now we will end this year with $2 Million + in Unrestricted and Capital Reserve Cash, a $3,000,000 swing in Borough Finances to the positive. We don't need all this cash sitting in Borough Coffers. We need to CUT TAXES now:
