I think that attending these hearings and demanding accountability
regarding the recyling/trash ticketing program would be a great thing
for someone (other than me) to do.
A less time-consuming and frustrating option for people who receive
bogus tickets like these (even registered Republicans or
Independents) is to contact Marty Cabry or John Fenton in
Councilwoman's Blackwell's office.

To everyone who feels strongly about trash tickets:
The Streets Department goes hat-in-hand to a city council budget
hearing on Monday, April 27, from 2:00 to 3:30pm.
The public can sign up to testify at these hearings. It might be
interesting for someone to ask:
How much money does the city gross and net from these tickets?
Where does the money go (does the Streets Dept get it, does it go
into the general fund, does it just disappear)?
What evidence is there that this program has fulfilled its
purported purpose of cleaner streets?
I don't like paying the fines for highly dubious supposed
violations. But I don't feel strongly enough to devote the time to
prepare for and present testimony. Maybe someone else does.
