About a year ago the Laconia City Council mounted a campaign to try to get residents to recycle more. They hoped people would cooperate and thus PAYT could be avoided. The recycling rate was 14% at the time and after months of coaxing and cajoling the rate had only risen a few percentage points and was insignificant. Incredible how those who scream the loudest about high taxes refuse to do something as simple as recycling to lower the cost of waste disposal and save money. Now it appears the citizens of Laconia are destined to have PAYT thrust upon them. Can't say the city fathers didn't try!
