The 2005 Oshkosh Common Council will long be remembered as the gang that said yes to charging a fee for a need--garbage collection--at the same time finding money for a classic "want": floating docks. With the election of Dennis McHugh and with Mr. Bain taking the leadership to encourage citizen input, there is still a chance to defeat the garbage fee.Now it looks like the Department of Natural Resources may sink the floating dock. Alex Hummel reports that the city's dock permit may be nixed due to environmental concerns. A rejection of the permit would mean the city could cancel the plan to borrow $284,900 for the dock.
I'll bet that the late Otis Redding would have voted for the dock, maybe even would have been sittin' on it, wastin' time.
