National Guard Could Clean NYC Trash Pileups, Cuomo Suggests
Patch ^ | 9-29-20 | Nick Garber

Posted on 09/29/2020 1:45:28 PM PDT by dynachrome

Gov. Andrew Cuomo suggested Tuesday that the state could send in the National Guard to help clean up piles of garbage that have mounted in some New York City neighborhoods during the pandemic.

"I don't know what's going on in New York City," the governor said in a news conference Tuesday afternoon. "If they can't do it, I have offered to send in the National Guard to come help pick up the garbage. The state can bring in trucks, personnel and clean up the city."

Complaints of trash pileups have been reported citywide over the summer, coinciding with a $106 million cut to the Department of Sanitation's budget, forcing the city to reduce the frequency of garbage collection, as well as an increase in New Yorkers working from home, producing more garbage in residential neighborhoods.

routine sanitation tasks that just about every other city in the country takes care of on their own.

Here in Dallas you can almost set your clock on what time the weekly trash pickup will occur.

They are within about a 6 minute window here.

The National Guard does not exist to make up for Coumo/DeBlassio’ corrupt and incompetent governance.

Not a chanece. They are union. And i found out local small town churches have taken millions since march to shut their doors. If its millions for small town churches, imagine how much for unuionized leftists.
Our church had an emergency fund.

Maybe the nyc union sanitation workers who are specifically paid for this, could actually pick up the garbage.

Does each state pay their own Guard, or is the state’s guard paid by the federal government?

That varies widely. For situations such as this, or hurricane duty, you are generally on SAD (State Active Duty), and in Texas, it makes you sad because you only get $130 a day. And sometimes work 20+ hairs a day, so yes, less than minimum wage.

However, if the President approves your situation as a Federal disaster thing (Rita/Katrina, Harvey, etc), then federal funding comes it to cover the costs. I think we still got the same low pay though, I don't really remember.

Then other stuff depends on what you're doing, types of training, deployments, extra duties: paying out UTAs/RMAs/AD-OS/etc. It really gets complicated on the different types of orders and pay you can get.

Thank you so much. Your answer sure explains the situation. What I was getting at: If the feds paid the Guards, then Cuomo would be getting federal taxpayers to pay for picking up his garbage.

If the NG has to take out the trash, they should start with everything not nailed down in Gracie Mansion. I understand that there is a very large turd (approximately 6’ 5” tall!) located on the second floor, and the NG should deposit that somewhere in the middle of the ocean.

Of course! Yup, if he calls up the Guard it would still be State money, not everybody's. Now, I'm not 100% sure if Guard's AT and regular M-Day pay (one weekend a month) is only from the State, or funded through National NGB, which would be US taxpayer dollars. Theoretically he could use guys on those orders to do it, but that would come at the cost of scheduled training and everything.

NO!

The guard is not there to save cities the cost of sanitation services.
