Pick Up Your Own Damn TRASH!

In my search for an editorial that would make me so mad that I could rant and argue about American ideologies I found a very well written piece on the Dallas Morning News website titled “Editorial: Dallas should start over on advised trash law” . I agree with the author of this editorial that if the trash in Dallas is going be turned into renewable energy then the city has to show the residents and prove that the renewable issue is the main reason for wanting all waste at this specific dump, rather than just getting more revenue from making commercial waste haulers take trash there. The city should have included everyone, including the citizens in the area affected by the trash increase and the waste haulers in the conversation before they went and made decisions for what they thought was best for the city, aka, what the city got out of it in terms of money. A good idea for renewable energy was taken over by greed. The authors intended audience is the people of the city of Dallas. The author is trying to show how he/she is on their side and supports them. He/she does this when discussing how the money the city was hoping to get from this ordinance will directly come back to the citizens of the city in the form of higher fees for services, to pay for the higher trash fees of commercial businesses. The author doesn’t really take a stand on either side of the issue, and that is why I believe it is an anonymous editorial, because it means more coming from what is basically the general voice of reason.
