During a recent township meeting, resident Robin McGregor raised significant concerns regarding the garbage collection contract and its enforcement. McGregor highlighted a clause in the contract that allows for fines of $100 for companies failing to address complaints within 24 hours, but noted that the language used—\"may\" fine—lacks the necessary enforceability. He argued that a more effective contract should use \"shall\" to ensure accountability.

McGregor expressed frustration over the township's choice of garbage company, which he claimed was not favored by the community. He pointed out that despite numerous complaints, the township has not been enforcing the contract effectively. He drew a parallel to tax penalties, emphasizing that residents face strict consequences for late payments, yet the garbage company appears to operate without similar repercussions.

Additionally, McGregor questioned the financial dealings surrounding the garbage contract, citing discrepancies in the sale price of the service and raising concerns about the potential future direction of the company involved. He expressed distrust in the company's commitment to customer service, recalling his own experiences in the gas industry where poor customer treatment would not be tolerated.

In his closing remarks, McGregor warned about the implications of ongoing development in the area, particularly regarding silica dust, which he likened to asbestos in terms of potential health risks. He urged the township to take these issues seriously, emphasizing the long-term impact on the community.
