What If?

clipped from www.meetup.com

What if the City of Fort Collins decided that to decrease pollution and save fuel, your business would be “districted”? This means you could only serve customers from one part of the city. The city would decide which district you would serve. You would not be allowed to serve any other customers besides those “awarded” to you by the city. To be awarded those districts, you would be required to spend outrageous amounts of money to comply with the city regulations that would now be imposed on your business because you were “awarded” a “district”. The city will determine what you can charge for your services. The city will also perform your bookkeeping duties so they can guarantee you are following the regulations and prices the city has determined. What if you weren’t even awarded a district? You would not be allowed to operate your business in this city.
This is what is happening to Gallegos Sanitation and Ram Waste.
