Mayor John Landwehr got down with the Blues Brothers Thursday night. No, not those Blues Brothers. Mayor Landwehr minced no words at a public forum in support of our twin blue trash/recycling carts (known in some circles as the “Blues Brothers”). The Mayor told the crowd that Proposition A on the April 5th ballot is the most important issue to go before voters in the last 16 years, and its passage would mean that we'd all be "singing the blues" with higher monthly rates (as much as an additional $10/month), the end of curbside recycling, and lawsuits against the City for breach of contract costing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars.
What did supporters of Proposition A say? Not much. Not much at all. They didn't really dispute the mayor's warnings, but said they oppose the Blues Brothers on "principle".
It is not the first time that the Blues Brother have been misunderstood, but remember that Jake and Elwood were on a "mission from God". Join Mayor Landwehr and stand tall with the Blues Brothers for our future!
