Only one member of a five-person board was able to vote to fund solid waste services in the city and county, reports today’s Daily Progress. Because of conflict of interest concerns, four of the five members abstained, allowing local builder Michael Gaffney to offer his own motion, second it, and record the only vote. Both the county Board of Supervisors and City Council have already ratified the agreement, which funds solid waste services until the RSWA devises a long term strategy.
 One man, one vote. |
