What inflammatory issue do Gladstone, Parkville and Weatherby Lake have in common? Garbage. If you have been following the news in the Star and Luminary, a very public process to move to a single garbage provider has met with considerable resistance from the public in Gladstone and Parkville, to the point where neither city will move to a single garbage company. Ironically the WL approach to the new trash contract has been relatively on the QT, with no formal communication (even as of this date) to the residents. The changes taking place here are substantial and from what I understand, lately, the pushback on the Mayor and BOA has been epic for our little burg. What are they thinking? Unless you have had personal communication with them you would not know. Makes you wonder if some of the sore spots on the new contract could have been avoided if the crew had taken a more public approach. Prepare yourself for the response from them that the discussions have been held at the monthly BOA meetings (attended by all 7 of us) and the Mayor has had a blurb in the eWeatherbyLake Living (as though it were an official publication?). No, the strategy by the elected officials is to weather the storm and wait for smoother waters...after all, Life is Good at Weatherby Lake.
