Ms. Brinkley why don't you ask the guys that pick up your trash how well they eat. Then ask the firefighters and police officers that protect your behind how much they make , then ask them how much more money you make working for the City of Winston Salem . Also your son gets free medical insurance from the military, how we'll does he eat. You know nothing about how well these guys and girls make ends meat all you won't to do is open your mouth and let the citizens know why the voted for someone incompetent like you. Lets hope you have only one term as a commissioner you moron!!!

Ms. Brinkley why don't you ask the guys picking up your trash how much they really make and how well they eat. Then ask the firefighters and police officers that protect your behind how much the City of Winston Salem make upon being hired then compare the same starting pay. You just degraded every employee that work for the City, safe to bet you eat well and would not work for what some of these guys make. And your son gets free medical from the military, how much do you make!!

The also had there retirement cut a few years back, and no raise till now. Lady why don't you resign or get the facts right, you should be standing behind your people instead of judging and saying they eat well when in reality you have no idea what they go through you clown!!

If I still lived in the area, I would be printing and posting advisories to put on these containers. Individuals should be made aware that anything they donate to these specific receptacles will only benefit a private company and Chinese citizens. There may be more details I'm missing, but an individuals desire to make money should never be confused with, or trump a charitable organizations desire to help the community. Thank you Mt. Airy News for making people aware of this shameful intrusion, and thank you to the commissioners for initiating an end to the practice.
