Malden Approves Pay-as-you-throw Program for Trash
For those of you living in Malden MA., be prepared to start paying to throw out your trash. This is in addition to real estate taxes.
Wow.
Why not just raise taxes? We are now going to have to go to the store to buy special bags at $2 each. I think it will turn the already dirty city into a dumping ground. I currently have to pick up one 5 gallon trash bag full of trash people kindly throw in my front yard every week, now I will have to pay to throw away other people’s trash.
Please tell me what I have to do to help reverse this silliness starting with who I have to vote against in November.

Well, there is a grass roots organisation trying to get this sillyness changed. They were collecting signatures on Election Day, although I had to go out of the way to find where the person was. I think the longer we wait the more people will just succumb to paying the trash tax.
