Lowndes County v. Deep South Sanitation: Why?

Why is Lowndes County suing a local business
for the benefit of investors in New York City?
I guess we’ve discovered the litigation
last month’s Lowndes County Commission executive session was about.
Why is this a good use of taxpayer money?

yesterday,

Friends, we all watch the news and we see governments making changes
that are unacceptable to the American people. Well, it is happening
right here in our hometown. LOWNDES COUNTY has issued a CIVIL ACTION
LAWSUIT against DEEP SOUTH. The preliminary hearing is set for
FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 2013 at 9:30AM in Courtroom 5D of the Lowndes
County Judicial Complex. The purpose of the hearing is to force DEEP
SOUTH to shutdown on that day! (We are a small, local, family owned
and operated business.) We need your support because this hearing
will effect almost every one of you. “IF” we are forced out,
Advanced Disposal will be your “ONLY CHOICE” for garbage service.
That means there will be a MONOPOLY for garbage service in Lowndes.
The County maintains that it is not MANDATORY for the citizens to
use Advanced Disposal so then who else can we choose? CHOICE keeps
business healthy and HONEST. Please help support this matter for
your sake and ours by calling LOWNDES COUNTY and voice your
concerns. Also, there are several petitions being sent around as of
today. We personally thank each and every one of you!! From: Cary,
Debbie, Trevor, Dylan and Sadee Scarborough



Unnamed Lowndes County “representatives”

spelled out in the VDT back in January
that

“According to the solid waste ordinance, Advanced Disposal will
be the only residential hauler licensed to serve unincorporated Lowndes
County.”

A few hours later yesterday, also on

DSS’s facebook page,

Why must the small business owner be discarded? —Deep South Sanitation

Cary Scarborough, owner of a local sanitation business, previously

asked the Commission not to grant a monopoly on waste collection.
He was quoted in

today’s VDT article,
and he has elaborated on his company’s facebook page.

To the Commission,

13 November 2012:



Don’t do this to private enterprise, to an individual. If it’s done
to me, it will get easier later down the road to do it to someone
else.

In

the VDT:

“I have not been told by the County that what I’m doing is
illegal,” Scarborough said. “But I realize they’ve drawn
up an ordinance, and they’re probably going to say that it’s
illegal. If they come after me, I guess they have to come after
me.”

Scarborough believes that if the citizens aren’t required to
contract with Advanced Disposal, they are then allowed to choose.

“If the citizens can choose, why can’t they choose me?”
he said.

Don’t do this to private enterprise —Cary Scarborough @ LCC 2012-11-13



Cary Scarborough of

Deep South Sanitation
told the Commission he and his wife and son and daughters
started a business, but he
“didn’t think it would come down to what we’ve seen here lately.”
He spoke at Tuesday’s

Lowndes County Commission Regular Session.

I understand … that the county has a responsibility for the solid waste….
I understand we have these big corporations, Advanced Disposal,
Veolia.
I know some of these people at Veolia, good people; they’ve got a good company,
and they pick up several thousand cans every day.
What we do offer the citizens here… we offer just a personal service.
I know a lot of these people first hand….

He told a story about a customer whose husband lost his job.
He stopped billing until the man got another job.

Cary Scarborough’s summation:

Don’t do this to private enterprise, to an individual.
If it’s done to me, it will get easier later down the road
to do it to someone else.

Yes, why is the county taking customers away from a local business
and giving them to a company that isn’t even based here?

County Manager Joe Pritchard,

once again,
was mostly not paying attention.
