September 19, 2011 shipoke residents were given a warning that they must clean up all the debris from the storm within two days. There are piles of wood, wallboard, and other materials outside on the streets, causing a hazard to public safety.
City officials have given residents a deadline and have refused to help get rid of the debris, putting residents in panic. Residents of the community claim that they had not been notified that the garbage pickup would stop.
One resident of the community Tony Sangrey mentions "They told us three days after they stopped picking up the garbage that they were no longer going to pick up garbage, so for three days we put garbage out with an expectation."
The community is more upset by the fact that city officials did not notify them until last minute. On top of the warning, if the garbage is not removed within two days residents will be fined, causing outrage among the community. Issues like these make citizens of America realize, what are our taxes for?
I can't believe this. Where is all the tax money going to if it is not used for what it is supposed to be used?
ReplyDeleteThis makes one doubt of the legitimacy of politicians and their actions.
Futher investigation on the economic situation of the city could lead to an interesting article on where all that tax money is going.
