Thrice taxed

Dear Editor:

RE: Minimum $10 fee coming to county waste sites on Jan. 1, Oct. 3.

Enough with three taxes on the same service. Landfill is part of the county budget that is incorporated into our taxes (tax one).

We have to pay for the garbage pick-up service by purchasing special garbage bags (tax two), and to add insult to injury, we now have to pay a minimum $10 to take our garbage to the dump (tax three).

Comparing ourselves with other municipalities is scant justification for overcharging.  Why not compare Wellington County rates to Grey County rates, and charge for garbage pick up at the same rate as Grey County?

Wayne Baker,
Wellington North
