So far at Omaha City Council in the discussion on the new proposed new recycling contract with Nebraskaland:
- the Mayor disparaged FirstStar Fiber for asking for more money last year
- Public Works said there& #39;s a lot of "misinformation" out there but they& #39;re here for facts
- Public Works then provided information about the contract which is over $20 million for 10 yrs and how it& #39;s "responsive" to the market
- no other Facts were provided, though FirstStar was again disparaged.
- head of Nebraskaland says he& #39;s here to provide "facts & data points"
- former landlord for Nebraskaland made it down to Council just to tell them what a terrible tenant they are. Trash everywhere. Mean people. Etc.
- CEO of FirstStar got up to respond to disparaging remarks made about them and tbh, it was heartbreaking
- it was pointed out that Nebraskaland doesn& #39;t have a website/ social media / even really a phone number
- Councilman Gray asked about diversity and Nebraskaland said there were "oh, a lot of diversity".
- Councilman Harding has been ON IT and Nebraskaland isn& #39;t handling it well
- Nebraskaland head claiming they can recycle everything. That& #39;s complete nonsense.
- Harding wants to know why there& #39;s so much recycled materials sitting out in the open exposed to the elements at their site. Nebraskaland has a lot of excuses.
- Nebraskaland will need to purchase a whole lot of infrastructure to handle Omaha& #39;s recycling but they definitely got it don& #39;t worry they got it.
- disparaged FirstStar again
Friends, I think you should ask your City Councilmember about the specifics of this contract. I& #39;m not saying email them and yell at them, I mean ask them to explain it.

It, uh, doesn& #39;t sound great.

(Hey @craigmoody Verdis group just got mentioned https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">)
- Councilwoman Melton pointing out that she& #39;s excited about covered recycling bins but now Nebraskaland is out here saying they& #39;re going to dump the recycling into their uncovered parking lot. So...I& #39;m with her that sounds weird.
Honestly what is happening with this contract.
