MoWest resident wants blue box enforcement
By Joel Goldenberg The Suburban Montreal West council regular Daniel Markuze is demanding the town enforce its rule against blue boxes for recycling being out before 9 p.m. Monday, the day before the Tuesday pick-up. "Coming in this evening [to the 8 p.m. May 31 council meeting], they were still there," Markuze said. "What are you doing to give tickets to those people?" Councillor Dino Mazzone, in charge of the public security dossier on council, said public Hon. Stéphane Dion P.C., M.P./C.P., député Saint-Laurent/Cartierville (514) 335-6655 Hon. Marlene Jennings P.C., M.P./C.P., députée NDG-Lachine (514) 489-8703 security officers are "out there, and like any bylaws, we don't really pick and choose the bylaws we want to enforce. Any bylaw in our town that's not being enforced, where the PSO will see an offence, they will certainly give tickets. "Have we been as vigilant in the past - no," Mazzone admitted. "But let's appreciate that we're also giving a period of time for people to focus on doing [recycling] in the right way." The councillor said he would ask public security chief Patrick Mann to pass on theHAPPY ST-JEAN-BAPTISTE BONNE FÊTE NATIONALE

request to the town's public security officers "to go out there, and when there's an infraction, we'll issue tickets." Markuze said he raised the issue a month before, and nothing was done. "It's easy money for the town, but when you have a bylaw, you have to enact it," the resident said. Mazzone agreed. "For what it's worth, and it's not an excuse, we only have one PSO at any given point in the day - we have four PSOs, but they rotate Henri-François Gautrin MNA for/Député de Verdun 4110, rue Wellington, #301 Verdun, QC H4G1V7 Marc Garneau M.P./Député Westmount--Ville-Marie (514) 283-2013 Hon.

Again, this is not to give an excuse. Your point is well taken." nSt. Laurent provides $94,000 to organizations
