“I am wearing my festive sweater because it’s the first of December! I like colorful clothing or exciting patterns as well as comfortable clothing. I like to enjoy what I’m wearing and not take it too seriously.”

Memorizing

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver's office issued a July 30 statement announcing that the city no longer has trash service and garbage will not be picked up starting Monday.

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver’s office issued a July 30 statement announcing that the city no longer has trash service and garbage will not be picked up starting Monday.

“Due to the circumstances, there will be no trash pick-up in the city starting this Monday, Aug. 1, 2016,” said the statement sent by Flint spokeswoman Kristin Moore. “Until a new agreement is officially in place, we ask the residents not set their trash out at the curb to prevent animals from disturbing it and make the situation worse.”

The announcement comes after the city’s contract with Republic Services expired on July 29 at 5 p.m. The trash contract has been an ongoing dispute since June when the Flint City Council voted against Weaver’s recommendation to award a $17.5-million-trash contract to Rizzo Environmental Services.

[…]

Weaver later vetoed the council’s decision to renew a contract with Republic and the council voted to override her decision.

Council President Kerry Nelson said the decision to end trash services are “exclusively the decision of Mayor Karen Weaver.”

Trash pickup is actually used as a weapon in other communities under siege; it is used to reduce the humanity of the residents, while exposing them to unsanitary conditions that can lead to disease transmission, all the while allowing their foes to point at them and say, “look at how filthy those animals are.” This is adding insult to injury.
