“I'd like to have a discussion add to this. I mean, this is very good. I mean, this is really, if I may. Yes, please. Thank you. So I can tell you that it was very disappointing to see that The governor vetoed an action taken by legislation to deal with an issue that is starting to take over our communities. And the state was probably the best level to manage this particular concern. Vice Mayor, what you put here is an excellent start. I 100% support all this review.

“Okay. And all I'm going to say is that if we could just keep an eye on this, because even the county has recognized that this could create odors. And the reason why is because, just because it's not food scraps, it's a process where you call, it goes from air to no air, meaning it goes to anaerobic.
