Village Officials Asked to Sit with Audience
» Cornell Hudson - Steger News - November 27, 2008
Residents and visitors at the November 17 Steger Village Board meeting were treated to a pleasant surprise. At the end of the meeting, trustees adjourned to the audience and were replaced by students from Columbia Central Middle School.
With so much political activity lately, it was refreshing to see students participating in and practicing what they have been studying.
The student mayor, village clerk and trustees debated the question "should Steger garbage collection be recycled at the curb?"
This garbage issue is not only timely, but real and very important.
After much debating between the student officials, along with some audience participation; they voted against recycling. Their discussions covered issues like costs, work involved and resident opinions.
This was a wonderful demonstration of Columbia Central and its student activities. When it was all said and done, Mayor Sherman mentioned that the garbage that is picked up in Steger is recycled by the village's two scavenger companies at their facilities.
