Quotes Worth Repeating

St. Louis County can impose and collect taxes on a transportation system, that about $3 of the general population uses. Yet, they impose and make mandatory a recycle system on 100% of the population, and they don't collect and pay for the service.

"Thank You! -

Just let me say that I absolutely love your website. It is the most informative I have seen. I have recommended your website to everyone I know that lives in St. Louis County and I encourage them to go to it every single day, not just once but a number of times as some new information is always popping up.

I really just wonder why the news stations haven't said anything about all of this - especially Elliott Davis!?!

I think we all know why there hasn't been much in the Post Dispatch!!!!!!!!!!

Again, Thank You.

Sincerely,
Sherry

“St. Louis County is trying to accomplish a noble goal through a lousy process,” she said. The plan, Englund said, is “creating division and mistrust.”

"The county would have us believe that we are anti-recycling by being against the districting plan, and that is simply not the case. Many of us in this room are not anti-recycling, we are for it and many of us already do recycle. However, many of us in this room are against forced recycling. It takes away our choice of trash haulers, that's the difference."

"This clumsy, monopoly trash-district plan is not the will of the people. It hasn't arose from the people saying 'This is what we want.' It is a political power play to create monopoly franchises for favorite insiders."
