The vote

Council voted to keep contract as is. I wish I had recorded Mayor Tate’s comments, including:

• Majority rules
• People he knows signed our petitions, but they didn’t really want to
• We have lots of widows in Grapevine who don’t produce lots of trash
• This is too new of a system

Tate did give John and “the group” kudos for our efforts. No positive response after my comments.

In summary, the only good thing about tonight’s contract vote is this is a five year contract, not ten.
