PROPERTY TAX TRASH ASSESSMENT
Tell our City Council majority they are WRONG to sell out Montebello to the polluting, union-busting, permit-violating Athens Waste.
On July 23rd City Council members Robert Urtega, Kathy Salazar and Rosie Vasquez approved,
Under this agreement our local independent haulers will be banned from doing business in the City.
Athens will be the ONLY TRASH COMPANY allowed to pickup trash in Montebello. Monopoly means HIGHER RATES for you and me.
The total contract is valued in excess of $150 million. And we're giving it to Athens for only $500,000.
NO ONE ELSE was allowed to even bid! Who knows how much other companies in the hyper-competitive trash industry would pay?
Montebello Residents already pay Athens 40-50% more per month for trash service than neighboring cities:
Montebello: $24.11
Most of the independent haulers live here, locate their businesses here, and hire Montebello residents.
FINAL VOTE: City Council meeting, 6:30 pm, August 27th, at Montebello City Hall.
Preserve Free Enterprise! Preserve Freedom of Choice and Competition. Keep Rates Reasonable!

Dana Reed, Reed and Davidson, Treasurer.
Downey: $11.88
Cerritos: $14.40
Paramount: $15.25
Councilmembers Urtega, Salazar and Vasquez apparently don't care. They voted for mega-corporation Athens over
local Montebello businesses and residents.
Come to this meeting and tell Councilmember Urtega, Salazar, and Vasquez to remember who elected them.
Tell them to vote for the people of our town, not for the Corporation they seem to hope
will fund their personal ambitions for higher office.
