New Comment Regarding: Further Clarification for Garbage/Recycle Parcel Tax ~ T. French

I too find it frustrating that those who are the most outspoken opponents of  the  garbage / recycling programme seldom become involved in the volunteer side  of the community and have no idea how may people give time to make the system work. Thetis has been functioning very well with volunteer supported services. The Fire Dept. for one is operational at a low cost to the taxpayer because of the dedication and sacrifice of volunteers who respond to calls for less than the cost of a package of cigarettes or a beer at the pub. The message from the few who find it unacceptable to pay for garbage / recycling  will not destroy the spirit of the folks who really own this island with their commitment to community.  The folks who make this community work so economically are the volunteers,  don't bite the hand that feeds you!
