Yes, all of those expensive looking full page glossy mail outs are being supported by an Arizona PAC.
Consider this link:
http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/expenditures.php?cycle=2012&cmte=C00428391
It shows an expenditure of $2000 to Impact Windcrest Cmte.PAC
Republic Services Expenditures | OpenSecrets - OpenSecrets.org. 10, Impact Windcrest Cmte Pac, $2,000
REPUBLIC SVCS. INC. EMPLOYEES FOR BETTER GOVT. PAC
Question: Who is Republic Services and why did they donate $2000 to the City of Windcrest, Impact Windcrest PAC?
The answer lies right in plain view. Go to the Windcrest City Web site. Click on: http://www.ci.windcrest.tx.us/index.aspx?NID=246;
This page addresses Curb Side pickup. Look in the second paragraph and click the underlined word: Allied Services/BFI
That link takes you directly to their home web site. Republicservices.com Yep, the same company that has the City Garbage/Trash Contract. Those garbage trucks rolling thru our streets and alleys belong to Allied Services/BFI whose parent is Republic Services. Is there a connection? Is this a level playing field for other garbage/trash vendors?
As a concerned citizen I recommend voting for:
Mark Perry for Mayor
Dennis Allen for City Council Place 5
Their PAC support dollars comes from local citizens.
