Dear Editor:
If West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith's idea to collect garbage every other week spreads over to the District of North Vancouver, I will demand the $200 I pay in taxes for garbage removal to be halved. It would be a fair deal.
However, I disagree with this concept altogether. The politicians or bureaucrats should think of long-term solutions, not merely adjust the monthly bills to cut their budgets.
Mayor Smith simply wants to pay less for garbage removal and he wants residents to store the garbage for two weeks on their properties. This will attract more wildlife to our backyards and potentially spread diseases. Is he ready to accept this responsibility?
