#5: Guest - My two cents 

 They're not made up numbers that have been offered as example of what Lowell could save. They are in one case numbers and prices from a company that would love to bid if allowed. Fact- There are 3400 paying residents in Lowell. Fact- There could be a savings by accepting such an offer. Fact- If that savings is $2.00 a mo. per household times three years it's a LOT of money. The issue here is not who picks up your garbage. Fact- Republic could be allowed to bid right along with anyone else. In Schererville Republic retained the contract they tried to extend and did it by dropping their own rate by over a buck and a half. The issue here is Lowell Town Coucil wont even try to see if Republic or Any Service can Save us money. That's the Issue Mr. Parker.
