I Don't Find Garbage Exciting

But then I probably have more of a life than Comrade Miller and his flunkys Baeremaeker and Gord Perks and that doesn't say much for them.......

TRASHING MILLER'S GARBAGE TAX

Surely you saw this fumble coming, but here's the professional evaluation from Veritas Communications' Bob Reid on Toronto's new garbage plan (touchdownsandfumbles.com).

Selling a tax hike is always an uphill battle, but Mayor David Miller and his cabinet-like Executive Committee of city council didn't do themselves any favours with the roll-out of their new plan to charge Toronto residents a sliding scale of fees for garbage collection depending on how much trash they put out at the curb.

Miller and councillors Glenn De Baeremaeker and Gord Perks did their best to spin the plan as "very effective," "exciting," "all-encompassing" and one which will "place Toronto as a world leader in the way we deal with our garbage."

Nice talk. Good spin effort. But here's the problem: Where did this come from? If there was any advance talk about it, I missed it.
