Supervisor Jeffrey McClure:
I heard the tale of the Oracle transfer station's plan to start charging for recyclables. As a disabled person on a limited income, I am inclined to shame both you and the gouging and vulturous Waste(ful) Management. This is how wildcat dumping starts. I now will have some real problems disposing of my paltry amount of trash and all of my recycling. Some history I am quite sure is in order. In the 1950's the site was a wildcat dumping site, used by the community with the knowledge of the owners, the distinguished Kanally family. It was an attraction for scavengers, four and two legged. The Kanally family and the county came to an agreement for the Kanally family to cede the property to the county for our community's continued use, and the county would hold the land for Oracle's use. It worked for all of us, and we ponied up to take our trash to the site, and the county maintained the site. I recognise that political memory is indeed short. Mine is pretty long, since 1956. Involving a for-profit garbage hauler who dumps the recyclables in a landfill is an insult, raises the cost to us and illustrates an insensitivity on policy makers' part, and shortsightedness in elected officials' vision. How soon are you up for reelection?? We are part of your constituency and we vote! Jane B. Woodruff 985 N John Adams Oracle, AZ

AuthorKaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979. The house we bought dated to the late 1940s. With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.
