Fresno’s Next Boondoggle
by Posted by Mike Rhodes
The article below is from the January 2011 issue of the Community Alliance newspaper in Fresno. Since the article was written, the City of Fresno postponed the hearing on privatization of the sanitation workers and re-scheduled it for Thursday, January 27 at 3 p.m. Ironically, Allied Waste (one of the companies involved in the Fresno privatization effort) is a sponsor of this year’s Martin Luther King events. Allied will have a large ad in the MLK program book and a table at the events. MLK was in Memphis supporting sanitation workers when he was assassinated in 1968.
