PRIVATIZE: Not a chance

| June 27, 2018 1:00 AM

Commissioner Eberlein, I think you have lost your mind. Go find it before the taxpayers of this county come after you! I refer you to the garbage solution you speak of, which is utter garbage in itself.

My property valuation doubled this year, which means that my tax bill will increase … AGAIN! Now the possibility of another hike for garbage?!

What you should have done was to present a solution to the garbage going to the landfill and the never-ending mountain that grows and grows. Garbage is inevitable. It will never go away. However, there is technology out there that will not only put a stop to the growth, but put money in the county’s coffers. This technology actually works and is in use today. Money for garbage … what a concept!

Check out the ECO Integrated Technologies website at ecoiti.com or request information on the TCOS unit, info@ecoiti.com. Will the initial cost be high? Probably, but it is a solution that will benefit everyone and save money in the long run. No more talk of “privatization of services” or other ideas that may or may not save a couple of bucks. Our system works and works well. Let’s try to make BIG improvements in the overall system.

I challenge you to start something that will make a REAL difference in this county before you head off into the wild-blue-yonder. Better yet, I “Double-Dog-Dare you!”
