District 3 Reps:
You are my representation at Town Meeting. I am asking you to not support PAYT, nor any portion of it.
Recycling in this town is no where near a full enough program to make this feasible. Too many types of articles cannot be recycled. Lots of plastics- anything that stacks or cracks, as they say, goes in the dump. Pick up is every 2 weeks, making saving that much material a mess and if forgotten, a monstrous mound by the time a month's gone by.
In addition, this redistributing of cost onto the shoulders of those who can least afford it is just morally wrong.
Since I voted for you to speak and vote in my place, I now ask you all to banish PAYT to the dump heap, where you sent it last year, and make certain that it will not return any time soon. PAYT is an idea whose time has not come.
Thank you,
Laura Austan
