Re: [Chat] trash cans
Mr Hill, I understand that no tax money is being used. The CVCBD is not a municipality. Since many municipalities are incompetent,I hope the CVCBD is not using them as an example of what to do. This is extravagance out of control. I am sure Witt Industries is reputable. They have been in business a long time,probably due to frivolous purchases. I cannot conceive of any rationale that would justify this waste of money.

Re: [Chat] trash cans
Judy, if you're going to lecture everyone that they should buy American, you can't then start complaining that it's too expensive to do so unless you can demonstrate that it's possible to find equally high quality trash cans for less. I'm sure it's possible to find ones made in Asia for a fraction of the price (www.nytimes.com/2007/11/26/nyregion/26manhole.html tells the story of how New York City began buying manhole covers made in India because they were so much cheaper), but you would be against that, right? I'm sure it's also possible to find lower quality ones that won't last as long, but then you're pushing the CVCBD to be penny-wise and pound-foolish because they'd probably end up paying more in the long run. Can you show that similar institutions are able to purchase American-made, high-quality trash cans for less? If not, then I don't understand why you're complaining. -Matthew -Original Message- From: jberlin jdy...@verizon.net To: David Hill davidh...@charlesvillage.org; Tweefie Millspaugh tmillspa...@semmes.com; The Charles Village Chat List chat@charlesvillage.info; Charles Village Discussion List discuss...@charlesvillage.info; Mary Pat.

Re: [Chat] trash cans
Thank you Matthew! Although $600.00 is expensive--if CV bought $50.00 cans, they would be stiolen or blown away every week -- realizing that they are on the streets 24 / 7. At $50.00 each per week, it would be $2600 for one location per year -- or if one disappeared per month, it would be $600.00 per year. You do the math -- and thank you for buying USA. I don't know about everyone else, but I do not want to see beat up trash cans blowing around Charles Village. I am not an eliteist, but I do appreciate a vibrant-clean neighborhood. Do you remember the free cans that the City gave away 3 years ago--as we can see, they have all disappeared. As I see the examples on the web page, there are opportunities for signage on the cans to either promote the neighborhood or to sell advertising to local companies.
