STL County's trash plan proves tough sell

In case you missed the report in the St. Louis Post Dispatch on Tuesday, September 25, here it is:

The new ordinance, scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, is supposed to streamline a process that has been notoriously uneven.But earlier this week, about 800 county residents gathered in the Affton High School auditorium to hear details of the plan and, more often than not, voice their displeasure with it.

    The re-occupancy program, trash districts and allowing vehicles to be parked in yards is not enhancing the county position and will help us in our annexation efforts.
