Well, What Do We Think?

This is about trash collection, and is a brief update.  The WUTC asked that all the exhibits and information and witness lists with respect to the two applicants for the Point Roberts trash collection problem be turned over by January 15.  Included in that information are summaries of public comments with respect to both applicants.

With respect to Point Refuse and Recycling (Wilkowski), there were 55 comments in total, with 37 supporting this company, 16 opposing it, and 2 uncertain.  With respect to Freedom 2000 (Gellatly), there were 18 comments in total, with 9 supporting the company, 2 opposing it, and 7 undecided.

It's not clear to me how they came by these counts since any given letter did not necessarily address simply  one company or the other.  Many of the letters from the public mentioned/discussed/analyzed both companies, so I don't know whether such a letter would be included in the Wilkowski totals or the Gellatly totals, or counted in both (e.g., if the writer specifically supported Wilkowski and opposed Gellatly, or vice versa).  There is no explanation within the memorandum as to how these counts were made.

As well, there is no entry on the website indicating when the WUTC expects to meet on this.
