I get my information from living in Bogota, reading the newspapers, talking to people, etc. But I never claimed to be either completely corect or complete in any sense. <br /><br />In reorganizing the garbage collection system, one of Petro's goals was to include the informal trash scavengers/recycles. I'm not sure about the 'monopoly' part. <br /><br />Regarding Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, I wasn't trying to equate the two men at all. My whole point was that despite Ford's really scandalous and criminal acts, Toronto can't get rid of him. Whereas, Petro was ousted, even tho all he did was mishandle the trash collection scheme and not being accused of corruption.<br /><br />MikeMiguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388030533444193686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-16188513466334546012013-12-12T13:18:24.446-08:002013-12-12T13:18:24.446-08:00I do not know from where you get all your informat...I do not know from where you get all your information on this issue but It seems that you have no idea of what you are talking about. In fist place you do not explain the real issue with the collection of garbage in Bogota. For example: you do not exlain that the problem is that Gustavo Petro was trying to dismantle the monopoly of the collection of garbage from the group of private companies that had this monopoly. In second place, your comparison with that other mayor is pathetic. The mayor of Bogota has not committed any crime nor has been involved in any corruption act. He has simply attacked the interests of the private sector. Please do some research before you write.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336914665976652605noreply@blogger.com
