(Sent to the County Council and Island newspapers today)
After reading today’s article in the San Juan Islander entitled “SW budget based on OI Facility Only,” I am compelled to comment. I will attempt to keep my comments respectful and civil, but the ludicrousness of the options being presented here makes that somewhat difficult.
While I understand that we face difficult budget choices, and apparently are going to pay dearly for our past choices in this policy area, the idea that an island county should live with zero or just one point for solid waste removal is alarming.
