Watching the goings on in Southbridge sure makes one think the Retired Middleboro Town Manager really likes trash.
.
As a proponent of a TRASH FEE, Mr. Healey formulated a plan to fund a budget shortfall using the FEE, which just coincidentally would provide the exact amount needed to fund that fiscal year's deficit.
.
The fee imposes a cost of ~ $216 per household. (Less for those who opt for the per bag stickers.)
.
Although the issue was to be re-visited, no one can produce the itemized costs. No one can say if Middleboro actually made money, which would constitute an illegal tax. And the funds were never set up as a separate Enterprise Account.
.
The costs of trash disposal at SeMass are not isolated.
.
Wasn't this the issue for which FUZZY MATH was coined?

I'm still frosted every time I pay the trash bill and think of Jack's Fuzzy Math! Typical of his management by crisis.
