ATTA’ BOYS FOR ERIC, JIM AND BOB (AGAIN).

Mayor-elect Eric Struemph

 Last night’s meeting of the City Council brought out more opposition to Proposition A on today’s ballot.  Mayor-elect Eric Struemph wasn’t on the City Council when the trash/recycling contract was approved in 2009, but announced that he would vote “No” on Proposition A.  Struemph pledged to work with both supporters and opponents of the trash/recycling program to improve the contract in the coming months.

Councilman Jim Penfold

Second Ward Councilman Jim Penfold voted against the contract two years ago but also announced his opposition to Proposition A.  Penfold says the trash/recycling program has been well-received by the majority of residents in his ward and the rest of Jefferson City.
 

Councilman Bob Scrivner

 Third Ward Councilman Bob Scrivner also voted against the contract two years ago and has been a vocal opponent since that time, but last night he again emphasized that voting for Proposition A is not the way to address his concerns about inequities in the program for those on limited incomes.
 
Fifth Ward Councilman Ron Medin, Fourth Ward Councilwoman Carrie Carroll, and Second Ward Councilman Rich Koon (along with former council representatives Anita Randolph, Ken Ferguson and Cindy Layton) all voted for the trash/recycling program in 2009.  Medin, Carroll  and Layton have been active in the campaign to convince voters to vote NO on Proposition A on today's ballot.
 
NOW IT IS YOUR TURN FOR AN ATTA' BOY (OR AN ATTA' GIRL). 

GO TO THE POLLS TODAY AND VOTE “NO” ON PROPOSITION A. 

DON’T THROW A GOOD THING AWAY.
