To recap for you new folks -- here is a Watch Dog recap:
- Aug. 29: Watch Dog posts about upcoming contract debate
- Aug. 30: Supervisor Jerry Hill sends a 'scathing' letter to Kevin McCarthy, the guy that runs the agency that recommends garbage vendors
- Sep. 2: The trash talk got personal between Hill and McCarthy
- Sep. 3: Watch Dog revealed the letters that McCarthy apparently got the chosen vendors to write -- remember, a Thesaurus can be helpful
- Sep. 8: Kevin McCarthy's Board Chair slapped him on the wrist
- Sep. 10: At the same time that Redwood City approves the new vendors, it is revealed that an independent auditor will see how independent the selection process was and rate hikes are mentioned
- Sep. 15: Watch Dog updates readers about a possible delay in Foster City's decision about trash
This item from yesterday's Daily Post describes a run-in Kevin McCarthy, the guy who is in charge of selecting the contracts, and Louis Pellegrini, a guy from one of the companies who did not get the contract. If this story doesn't sound exactly like what you would expect from a trash contract, I don't know what does. With one major difference: This story says the government agency chief confronted the garbage guy. Isn't that backwards? Have the thug tactics moved from the garbage company side to the government agency side? Has the world gone mad?
