Anyone else remember Moore's garbage debacle? How we ended up with a hybrid system that costs the taxpayers more money?
According to a December 18, 2013 Quincy Herald Whig article. "Moore instead proposes the city continue providing that service and increasing the price of garbage stickers to $1.50" and ""I think $1.50 is palatable," he said of the sticker cost."
The Moore administration proposed a 200% INCREASE for something we already pay for through our real estate taxes!!
A December 3rd 2013 Quincy Herald Whig article has some interesting insight.
According to the article, the city took in $625,000 from garbage collection. The Moore administration stated there are 15,000 residential customers. Moore preferred "company A" which wanted to charge $13.20 a month to be collected on our water bills.
Lets do some math..... 15000 customers multiplied by $13.20 a month equals $198,000. Now we multiply that by 12 months and we get $2,376,000.
Moore wanted to raise OUR (the taxpayers) PAYMENT FOR GARBAGE from $625,000 to $2,376,000
THAT IS A %280 TAX INCREASE PROPOSAL!!
