The City needs to take care of their own garbage.

There is plenty of space here in CO to create a new site. Makes no sense to truck it far away.

No. Biden and the Democratic voters are in the process of continuing to destroy this Country. Why does 50% of the people in this country love evil and hate good?

The government is destroying our economy. The media is more intent on dividing people. It is evident that COVID is mutating as intended to infect everyone. Aside from all that I am hopeful that the just will overthrow those that are trying to destroy us and all will be well.
