Cold Harsh Reality:

Bitching on the internet wont solve this issue. Do you know why? LESS THAN 17% OF REGISTERED VOTERS VOTED IN THE LAST MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Not 17% of the population of Worcester. 17% of registered voters.

So, that means a small fraction of people in this city elect officials who will never raise taxes to improve sanitation the way people here want it. The status quo will continue, because most of the residents of this city can't be bothered to vote.

This point covers 99% of the shit people bitch about Worcester. Worcester sucks for you because nimby boomers like it the way it is. They vote. Statistically, most of you don't. So fuck you. Cry harder into your inadequately small recycling bucket.
