2/20/2009 Update – Why will they not sanction the MBSCT?

February 20, 2009 - 10:26 am

Posted in Gwinnett Trash | No Comments

Good morning:
So the next meeting  night for the MBSCT is Monday 2/23/09.  I am very miffed as to why there is not  any real public posting of this meeting other than on blog sites, no real media coverage.

Good morning:
It has become evident to me that the county is moving forward without any input form citizens and the “Blue Ribbon” committee is merely a grandstanding event. I gave this analogy this morning; the “Blue Ribbon” group is playing basketball while the county is playing soccer. The two are not even involved in the [...]

Good Evening:Well I hope everyone has seen that the “blue Ribbon” committee will be meeting Tuesday night at Shorty Howell Park at 6:30 pm. Needless to to say that Mike Beaudreau did not select me to be on the committee. He has selected one person that I know for sure. Since Mike Beaudreau blurted out while [...]

So there is a new website that has been setup by a marketing firm from Jacksonville, Florida the home of Advance Waste. I urge everyone to go and look at the site and see why they feel the “Plan” is great for us. One of the selling points is that it will be “fair” [...]
