Daley floats privatized recycling idea
Mayor Daley announced Thursday that the city will look into privatizing its recycling program and lakefront festivals-potentially including Taste of Chicago-to help close a $655 million budget hole.
The mayor's last major foray into privatization was his lease of the city's parking meter system. That proved unpopular with the public after rates increased and the private operator had service problems after taking over.
After those decisions the Mayor Daley wants the re-election in February.
I think there´s no real reason to privatizing the recycling program too. The goverment most to have the resposibily to provide those services without the private sector. As we know, the private sector always is more expensive. The result of the privatizing public services is more taxes and less jobs to the residents and citizens.
