Conflicted mayor says pay-as-you-throw right way to go but most Laconians don’t want it; vote is Wednesday night BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After first indicating that he would casting the deciding vote in favor of introducing a “pay-as-youthrow” program should the six city councilors, as expected, divide evenly over how to restructure the curbside collec-
tion of solid waste, Mayor Mike Seymour now finds himself in quandary on the eve of tomorrow’s special City Council meeting to settle the issue. “I believe PAYT is the right way to go,” Seymour said yesterday, “but the public outcry (against it) has been overwhelming.”
Seymour estimated that approximately 80-percent of some of 300 comments he has received expressed opposition to PAYT. “I am hesitant to commit,” he said, adding that “I would like to see a consensus on the council on such a controversial issue.” Councilors Matt Lahey
(Ward 2), Henry Lipman (Ward 3) and Bob Hamel (Ward 3) have expressed their support for PAYT and are expected to vote for it while Councilors Ava Doyle (Ward 1), Brenda Baer (Ward 4) and Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) favor the so-called mandatory recycling option. see TRASH page 9
