Ah, the scientific method at work.  Formulate a theory (Waste Mgmt is 
Evil) and then look for data to support it.  Having done so, announce 
that the theory is proven, and base public policy on it.

Sorry if I seem a bit snide here!  But it seems you have already made up 
your mind, and are not asking if there is any evidence to suggest Waste 
is or is not evil; or whther there are benefits/drawbacks to whatever 
particular proposal you are evaluating.

A fair-minded approach would evaluate the proposal on its merits, 
INCLUDING past performance on similar contracts, and then decide if it's 
a good deal for your community.

I don't have any particular bias one way or the other on Waste Mgmt, I 
just don't like to see the "Big=Evil" stereotype perpetuated.

Good luck, 
Tim
