Recycling wackiness
Monday's committee meeting was about as good as it gets in terms of goofy drama, when a recycling policy discussion played out like a Twilight Zone episode.
The underlying issue remains, however, and wll hopefully get a more serious airing at the city Budget and Fnance Committee's next meeting.
Weir brought up an excellent point: The work he's been appointed to do is fruitless since it conflicts with current city "policy."
If the city has no intention of taking a more proactive approach to recycling...if it wants to keep its default position of reacting to state mandates and nothing more...then the metro planning group Weir has been assigned to should quit wasting time crafting a plan.
This is a complicated topic that deserves the full council's discussion, so hopefully Weir's request for policy verbiage will at least make it out of committee next time around.
Ya think?
