What Garbage - Jax Politics as Usual


The Trail Ridge Landfill debacle is going to be a pretty popular topic here at Angry Jax, because it demonstrates in clear detail everything that's wrong with Jacksonville politics.

This is such a huge topic - and there's so much media on out there about it - that it could take you a week to read all of it. Have no fear! I'll be happy to tell you all the story (the quick version!) over the next few posts, with links to some of the more exciting news stories written on the subject. Note that almost all were written by Miss Tia Mitchell of the Florida Times-Union, who has been all over this since the beginning, and done a real good job covering this debacle.

Over the next few posts, I'll bring y'all up to speed on the history of the project, the players, and why we need to take some action here. In the end, you'll see why City Council VP Jack Webb needs to resign and why Republic Services needs to withdraw from the competitive bid process.

  1. Why exactly should Republic withdraw from the bidding process ?
    Leaving us the taxpayers what ? NO competition for a $750 "Deal" that Peyton would LOVE to see go to his pal Paul Harden's Client ? (i.e. waste management)
    What problem are you trying to solve exactly ?
    A transparent bidding process is the ONLY thing between Jax and the "Shaft" as you so eloquently put it.
    So why would you want ANY potential bidder removed from the process ?
