What does Ed Norton think about this?
As a former certified sewer plant operator in the state of New York, I have to agree with the mayor.
What does Ed Norton think about this?
Me too. Although the occasional dead goldfish shouldn’t be a problem.
And I agree with you. Jeez, this is just common sense.
Soory I agree, but so many on FreeRepublic feel compelled to condemn good ideas even when expressed by idiots like Di Blasio, merely when they are expressed by folks like him.
It’s the opposite of “don’t kill the messenger”, but instead always kill the messaege ONLY because of the messenger. It’s a knee-jerk close minded attitude just like we always accuse the Left of.
Everyone pays muncipal taxes, and sewage costs are just one of the things our local taxes pay for. Anything that makes those costs less is a good thing, no matter who mentions it.
It certainly was no “nanny state” who told me not to put my cigarette butts in the toilet, at our country house that had a septic tank (back when I smoked). It was my plumber. He explained the different ways the cigarettes, particularly the filters (they do not easily biodegrade and they float, so they don’t exactly “flush” well), can foul up the operations of the septic system. I guess if I had heard it from Di Blasio I was supposed to - stupidly - reject the advice.
Everyone reacts and too many replace thiking with reactions.
