I tried to create a recycling program and found it would cost the town thousands of dollars a year to start one, so I backed away from it. I thought it would be a cost savings, when, in fact, it wasn't.

It's simply not true. I've always listen politely when someone has a problem. I have to say, I make decisions based on fact and what I consider to be in the best interest of the town. If some people take exception to it, that's too bad. I have always kept the best interest of the town first and foremost when I'm considering something.
