It would mean local decision-making about the utility, including who keeps their jobs, could be influenced by corporate trash haulers who might not know the community's needs. The decision to keep the work local was estimated to cost residents only $8 a month during an April 21st city council meeting. While the rate may vary, that’s a small price to pay to be able to contact the city directly in case of a problem and easier ability to weigh in on future decisions.   Keep your services local and support your union members by telling Olympia City Council to maintain control over the utility. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/keep-olympia-waste-removal-local
