Hanover residents need to pack the Board of Supervisors meeting and send a clear message. "We want the hauler who will cost the residents the least amount of money over the course of whatever agreement is approved." Compare what I'm paying now to what I'll be paying in the future. It's what needs to come out of my checking account for trash collection in the future. We pay a lot less than my friends in the City who contract for their own and hopefully it's even a greater savings going forward. Do what is best ($$$$$$$$$) for the taxpayer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-41926934134335289152012-01-16T17:26:13.372-05:002012-01-16T17:26:13.372-05:00Seems these guys need to listen to Tanczos.

Regardless, and not sure how the garbage was billed/taxed comercially, the lower rate should be pursued and some of the surplus looked at to offset the costs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-18354830415328367022012-01-13T10:52:42.337-05:002012-01-13T10:52:42.337-05:00Hey anonymous, I own commercial property in the to...Hey anonymous, I own commercial property in the township and when the trash was in the tax bill I was paying for your trash collection.

For a budgetary reason(?)these experts institute a garbage fee instead of lumping the charge to your tax bill, so in essence your taxes go up and yet you cant deduct the full amount from overall income taxes. Now a chance to lessen the burden and there is actially a debate over giving residents a break? Nagle and the rest had no problem approvong the garbage fee in the first place, which was the biggest change (ie:tax increase) hanover had ever seen. Talk about being out of touch? This takes the cake. How about using some of the current surpluls to lower or eliminate this entirely?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-54364826045373984382012-01-12T14:31:31.605-05:002012-01-12T14:31:31.605-05:00It would seem to me in today's economy all rat...It would seem to me in today's economy all rationale members of the HT Board would be doing everything possible to keep $'s in their residents pockets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-29069919610510054762012-01-12T13:59:53.332-05:002012-01-12T13:59:53.332-05:00We'll take the cheaper plan otherwise we'l...We'll take the cheaper plan otherwise we'll complain.
