It seems everything was moving forward smoothly except for a couple of hiccups with the unions and the bid dispute, but those were just speed bumps in the process. |
It's a bittersweet victory because people are ready for curbside this year. We have a crisis on our island. We are running out of landfill. Why not adopt it this year? There are recycling companies ready to go. |

We don't have the luxury of time anymore. |
