Denver Direct: Talking Trash (Tax)

FOR PUBLICATION

Editor:

The vigorous defense of the (Denver) trash collection “fee” by Ann Williams of Public Works shows that City Hall has already decided in favor of this preposterous notion. All that remains is for Mayor Michael B. Hancock and the City Council rubber-stampers to use the budgetary hardship and fairness arguments to sell this odious tax increase to a gullible public. (It isn’t torture if you call it “extraordinary rendition.”)
