\r\nFormer Chairman Ashley Paulk may say he didn’t tell Cory Scarborough\r\nof Deep South Sanitation that\r\nany contract by the county for curbside pickup would be non-exclusive\r\n(VDT 30 May 2013<\/a>),\r\nbut David Rodock reported for the VDT from Ashley Paulk’s guest house\r\nat a Lowndes County Commission retreat chaired by Ashley Paulk that:\r\n<\/p>

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nCommissioners decided that getting out of the “trash\r\nbusiness” was best and that a non-exclusive agreement with\r\ncurrent curbside pickup companies (which about 12,000 citizens\r\nalready employ) would provide service without putting any people out\r\nof business.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
