Jeff Mikulina Quotations

It seems everything was moving forward smoothly except for a couple of hiccups with the unions and the bid dispute, but those were just speed bumps in the process.

It's a bittersweet victory because people are ready for curbside this year. We have a crisis on our island. We are running out of landfill. Why not adopt it this year? There are recycling companies ready to go.

It's a huge problem. This is not a 21st-century waste-water system. We should expect much more.

We seem to be putting it off and putting it off. I thought there was an understanding this past week discussing the landfill that we have a crisis on this island.

We seem to be putting it off and putting it off.
