RE: Recycling Page 1 oft L D551139 E think that you hit on the crux of the issue with your first sentence. You should pause and thing about that first sentence a I i#tle longer. Let's think about this brochure for a minute. Flow credible is a flyer that is signed by no one, has no address, and has no way to verify information. What comes to my mind is that only a scam artist would publish something like this. The author is probably one of those people who probably scams senior citizens in to roofing and driveway scams. Why would you give this flyer credibility? Thinly about it, would the State of Minnesota allow someone to claim that they are running a recycling operation where they throw away 30% of the items" Does that sound logical to you? Don't you think that an operation like that would have been sued or put on the front page of the newspaper or TV station investigation report? Do you think that the mystery flyer person was the first to discover th i s? Think about it. Now, let's do some more thinking. Do you really believe that people would jump for joy for a 15% increase in anything? Or is it that maybe that it is not really 15%, or that we are getting something in return that we are not getting now? What do you think is more likely? Don't you think that there is more to it than simply sorting into two piles? Think about it for a minute, If they pick up in two piles, a worker gets out of the truck and picks the stuff by hand and throws It into the biro. If it is picked up in one cart tike your garbage cart, the driver presses a button and the arm on the truck does the work. I presume that you have heard of the word "workman's comp" right? Which method do you think would logically lead to more workmen's comp claims? Couldn't that be a source of savings? In the 20 other suburbs this is used, recycling has gone up. Don't you think that would happen here, or are Roseville people different from everyone else in the Twin Cities" Now here is the biggest question that I have. Why would you write a letter to your elected officials, which by sending it to the city makes it public information, and offer a strong ❑pinion, of� yes or no based upon the information that you have' Do you think that you are making an informed opinion?
