Look! More Money Pissed Away!
Chicago is turning its back on $40 million in guaranteed revenue over the next 10 years -- and 25,000 free trash/recycling bins -- by ignoring an Aurora company's offer to install "Free Green Cans" bearing advertising across the city.
Steve Holland, founder of Free Green Can, said he was closing in on an agreement with City Hall after a test last summer that saw the company install 65 free containers at Taste of Chicago.
But no sooner had the experiment ended than Chief Environmental Officer Sadhu Johnston resigned to take a job in Vancouver. That stopped the deal dead in its tracks. Daley has yet to name a replacement.
Well Mr. Holland, we certainly hope you didn't have any proprietary information typed up in that proposal you gave to the city. Because you are probably about to find out what a Chicago-style screw job feels like. Bring your own lube.
In the meantime, we certainly hope arbitrator Benn sees how well the city's finances are if they can walk away from $40 million guaranteed.

obamanomics in action.
Only Slightly Off-topic:
Miserable City list--
"Chicago (No. 10)... Torturous commute times and nosebleed-inducing taxes are the high prices locals pay ..."
$ 40,000,000.00 is not enough money for me and my family, if you want to do business with me, you have to make my while worth it. Anything above $100 mil, and only cash, no paper trail if you know what I mean
Sincerely Shorty!

That and squeeze a friend or family member into the numbers, such as a friend in a "sub-contractor" status to get a piece of the pie.
