The Dooley Administration once again displaying their raw arrogance of power.

Post Dispatch:

“Competition is what determines the lowest price and what determines the best service, ”[Democratic Councilman] Stenger said, ”The right thing to do, and the only thing to do, is have this go out to a bid, and not move another step toward a monopoly for trash in St. Louis County.”

Republican Councilman Greg Quinn is also opposed.

“Allied is becoming closer and closer to a monopoly all the time,” Quinn said, “They will control five out of the eight districts if this goes through, and will be lessening the amount of competition.”

Allied Waste was represented by John Temporiti, Dooley’s campaign manager, when the current trash districts were
