Council Candidates Talking Trash, County Jobless Rate Falls-Roseville Rewind

Four candidates for the Roseville City Council offered differing views at League of Women Voters forum this past week on whether the city should adopt a system of organized trash hauling.

That was among this past week's top news stories on Roseville Patch.

Council candidates Lisa Laliberteand Bill Hoffman said they oppose Roseville switching from the current trash removal system-where residents choose their own haulers- to one where the city would contract on behalf of all residents for trash removal service.

Meanwhile, Council candidate Karen Schaffer said the trash service debate is one of priorities to be weighed by the community. Another Council candidate, Jason Etten, said there is concern about a large number of garbage trucks putting wear and tear on city streets and adding to pollution.
