Letter to the Editor: Question for Major Frank Jackson and Commissioner of Waste Collection
As a resident of Cleveland, Ward 11, I would like to ask a question to Mayor Frank Jackson, and the Commissioner of Waste Collection. Why are waste collection workers being laid off, when residents are paying $8.25 in taxes for this service? How many people reside in Cleveland? Shouldn't this revenue be sufficient? Please reply to the readers of the Observer. Thank you.
