Letter to the Editor

Bureaucracy not the answer to litter problem

To the editor:

I must respond to Jeffrey Shear and his April 15 letter about the Legislature's bottle bill (deposit fee). Mr. Shear is correct in his analysis of litter and litterers, but as is typical with liberals, he thinks a huge bureaucracy is the answer.

Wrong. We have thousands of people on welfare and we have those who are receiving unemployment checks with what seem to be unending extensions. The answer: If you want a check (welfare or otherwise) you pick up trash. You don't want to work, you don't get your money.

Our lovely city and surrounding areas would soon be pristine. End of story.
