It as well as everything else was delivered extremely poorly, and it was not by the representative pitching the idea. I for one did not like the idea of the bags at all, but took it upon myself to find out a couple of things, because something didn't seem right. Let's just say I found out politics is actually more smelly than garbage.

Councillor Mrakas presented some numbers <br />illustrating the outrageous # of hires from 2010 to 2015.
