The interesting thing about this meeting is the proposed building project at the landfill. The progression of this project and its projected cost is a text book example why not to trust initial government cost estimates. Multiple times the audio record reflects comments that the price cannot go lower and the record shows that it has done just that.  Lesson – Always challenge the expense or kiss taxpayer dollars good bye.
