City's pickup promise was ... well, garbage

Apologies to all who were inconvenienced by our online and bulletin board notices that said the City of Troy's DPW crew would pick up our garbage on Saturday this week.

Although most people had their blue recycling bins emptied, the City failed to come through on the promise it made to get around to us on Saturday for garbage removal.

Usually we complain about elected officials reneging on promises. In this instance, it was unelected City employees -- i.e., people we pay to provide a service.

Add to that the poor snowplowing performance by City trucks and we've all been underserved.
