[StBernard] SDT

[Westley Annis]

The  parade  they  had  in  da-parish  was  the  same.
SDT  had  his  crew  in  the  back  of  the  parade  cleaning.

Concerning the SDT thing, I just want to say a couple of things. I know none
of 
the parties involved but I do know that the French Quarter has never been 
cleaner than when SDT got the contract. It used to be disgusting at best. I
have 
even seen them spraying deodorizer on the streets. I was truly amazed.
I know that the Quarter is not da parish, but the entire metro area needs 
tourist dollars and you can bet that this cleanup will make a DIFFERENCE
WHEN 
FOLKS DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO RETURN TO THE AREA. I have heard from
visitors 
(Pre-Katrina) that they would never come  back to such a dirty and stinking 
place. No one can say that now.
As for the dumping, I do not know whether or not it was deliberate. I do
know 
that in this day & age that competion is fierce and money is scarce. If you 
don't think another company would do this to make them look bad you are not 
living in today's world. Industrial espionage and sabatoge are at an all
time 
high. Everyone is fighting to stay afloat and not everyone fights fair.
For all the good  they do I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt
on 
this one. This one time. Future offenses would not be lookked upon favorably
by 
anyone.
 I'm just saying you need to look at both sides of the story and the BIG 
PICTURE.
Thanks for indulging me.
