Garbage collection is more important than reading the Plain Dealer so I just canceled my newspaper subscription to pay for the garbage fee. I was hoping our council members would vote against this fee but that didn't happen so the only alternative for me to make ends meet is to cancel something else that costs money. Since I recently opened my upstairs apartment to my granddaughter who is currently working as a caregiver for my daughter's father-in-law who has Parkinson's disease so his wife can continue working full time at a nursing home as a medical records technician, I will most likely have to pay a fee for two units even though I am not collecting any rent for the upstairs unit. So, to balance my budget the newspaper had to be discontinued. So much for an enlightened citizenry.I wonder how other households will pay for the added cost for garbage collection here in Cleveland, Ohio?
