Letter: ‘Please Stop Penny-Pinching’

Fellow New Canaanites,

I know it seems like a minuscule thing to some, but given the severity of the storm [Tuesday], there are many limbs and branches that have come down in our yards. My husband was up early this morning and loading the truck with these things and went to the Transfer Station to drop off our one load of the day (which I gather was the determination from the last meeting with our elected officials). However he was over the 300-ton limit and had to pay for the whole load. Not even the amount over 300. When is this nickel and dime-ing going to stop?
