In a recent HOLYOKE FIRST Poll, 76% of Bloggers opposed Mayor Sullivan's suggestion of possibly creating a Trash Fee.
Councilor Jourdain commented on the poll, "it does not surprise me that Holyokers would be against this very bad idea." Councilor Jourdain further stated that City Hall needs to stop thinking of new ways to take the citizens money and do a better job spending the money they are being given more wisely. "Holyoke families live on a budget and so should City Hall!"
Councilor Jourdain co-filed a City Council resolution with Councilor John Whelihan to have your City Councilors take a stand on a new trash fee. The measure is currently in the Finance Committee where Jourdain and Whelihan are members. The sponsors will seek a roll call vote on the measure.
Re-Elect Holyoke's Fiscal Watchdog!
