For snow removal and spring cleanup aren't wages and benefits already being paid to the workers?
You are correct, but what this tells you is what portion of there time was allocated to cleanup.
The point is here does the taxpayer want those kind of dollars allocated to cleanup.
If those workers were not doing that work they would be doing other work.
During the spring and summer we traditionaly hire six casuals to catch up the work our guys are not doing either due to cleanup or vacations.
Would you need as many casuals if we were not doing cleanup?
