We all know how governments are suffering the effects of the recession and that we’re all tightening our belts, blah, blah, blah. The latest example of wasteful spending was evident in my neighborhood recently.
Our block had piles of discards and trash out on the street in anticipation of the once-a-year big pick-up. In the morning, here came the street sweeper, carefully and quickly making its way down the streets, swerving around the piles — so therefore we had very nice looking curvy paths around all the “stuff.”
Does the city not have a schedule of its own Operation Cleanup that it can distribute to others — say to the street sweeping department so that the schedule could be adjusted to take place after the cleanup? It would have been kind of funny if it wasn’t an example of another bunch of city money being flushed down the drain.
