1.2.3. 2017 Free Press Front Page "Rizzo pact in Taylor Raises Questions.

Questions have been raised in Macomb Township, Chesterfield Township, New Haven, and now Taylor Michigan.   The Macomb County questions concern alleged payments to officials to  secure  contracts or contract extensions.

The Taylor matter is somewhat analogous to that of our City in so much as it involves a municipality up grading from a small hauler to a larger one. What is unusual in the Taylor up grade is that  is that the City had two years remaining on it's contract with Midwest  Sanitation of Inkster and a No Bid Contract. 

If  Taylor contracts with Rizzo's successor  GFL (who now serves The City of Bloomfield Hills) and all options are approved  by the Taylor  seven member city council  The Free Press reports GFL stands to make almost twenty million dollars.

The  City of Taylor reportedly approach other vendors about taking over the  Midwest Contract  but the declined to take over the City's Garbage Trucks which still carry debt. Rizzo however agreed to by them prior to being bought out by GFL.

The reader who has persisted to this point may ask what does this have to do with The City of Bloomfield Hills and the answer is nothing and everything.
