> a locally based private company who specialise in waste and recycling.

If they are so wasteful it's hard to see why they got the contract.

Here we have a garbage collection company whose slogan is "Satisfaction guaranteed or double your trash back!"

It's not unlike someone spending hundreds of millions of dollars to get a four year contract on a job that pays hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and claiming to be a fiscal conservative.

But, Fong, if that someone is forbidden by law from spending his own hundreds of millions, and must instead spend other people's money, isn't that true fiscal conservatism?

Are they forbidden from using their own? Seems like Ahnie contributed quite a tidy sum to himself. And is conning others the mark of a fiscal conservative?

In another forum, someone said, speaking of of The Governator, "Contributions made to an individual's campaign are hard money. A person's campaign is not the same as the person. If he's using his own money he has contributed to his campaign. There's federal limits to how much money one person can donate to any given campaign."

That's what I was basing my assumption on. That, and the fact if someone conserves his own fiscal resources by using those of other people, he is, at least on a personal level, being fiscally conservative. Maybe it should be a matter for a procurator fiscal.

Nah. Four-armed is malformed.
