I’ve also created a quick copy and paste ready, comma delimited list of all the city council members. You can easily copy and paste these into the To: field of your email and send a message to all council members at once. I just did.

You need to wake up and smell the bacon. Every time government takes a low bid the taxpayer gets screwed. If government is able to negotiiate for services the out come is always in the best interest of the tax payer.

There's something fishy going on here. Waste Management spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to NOT have this contract bid? something isn't right here, and that contract should be put up for bid, period!

This is America. The contract should be open for bid. What is the worst thing that could happen...The people get a better price, or better service. Im so sick of the people of Jacksonville, needing decisions be made for them. Stand up, have a voice, and let it open for bid!!!

Pretty slick... the domain name is private, so there's no telling who put it up. Perhaps the McCormick agency?

Always interesting to see these PR firms duke it out over major city issues.

Meanwhile, I have absolutely no idea what the ACTUAL best deal for the people of this city is. And I suspect neither do most of the sitting councilmembers.
