And I don't believe they are county wide. If I read the news correctly it is the cost of operating the recycling program and only for the area where recycling is operating. It reflects the cost of the program being charged by the contractor. <br /><br />Fees for service are not the same as taxes. You want recycling, you pay for it. Frankly, I don't understand or agree with having a recycling program that costs money - thought the purpose was to save money while saving Al Gore's planet. But thats for another day. <br /><br />If running the recycling program costs $xxx per household, I would expect the county to charge $xxx dollars to those households. I don't want them to charge more - but I also don't want them to charge less because then you are subsidizing the program with MY tax dollars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-10680808868043875372016-02-04T13:47:06.895-06:002016-02-04T13:47:06.895-06:00"Common sense tells me that the purpose of su..."Common sense tells me that the purpose of such a law is to keep the county from being blindsided by a billing from years ago that they were not expecting. In this case the billing was submitted in a timely manner. The County is not surprised to owe this money. '<br /><br />Read the facts of the case. Some of these 'invoices' are from ten years ago - but have now been redated to make them within three years. And others were for work that exceeded the maximum legally allowable. <br /><br />From my understanding there are questions about some of the remaining invoices that need to be resolved, but Rudy wasn't willing to discuss or substantiate them without dealing with all - including those from 2006 and 2007 that were not submitted back then but were held until those that he had been paying on the BOS were on their way out.<br /><br />Lot more here than your simplistic set of questions.

Is Tim Johnson still on the Board? I wonder if Mary will fight this one like she did the last one since her cronies now run the Board. They gave the new prosecuting attorney a $27,ooo raise. Philette is calling the AG and Auditors office for everything since she obviously cannot read and understand the law. Seems they should manage better rather than increase taxes. <br /><br />The people of Madison County should revolt if they increase taxes. Better management is the key. A $75 million budget should be enough. It did not take long for the newly elected Supervisors feel the power and screw the people.
