Officials Answer Criticism From Rex Barber
City officials on Tuesday defended their handling of sanitation issues after Rex Barber, 31, resigned with a sharp public rebuke of the garbage operation. Barber leaves his $4,680 yearly post on April 1 after his demand for a $5,400 raise and Smith's removal was denied. He praised his nearly two years of service but disputed plans for a larger garbage truck body and for spending about $300,000 on incinerator expansion rather than a sanitary landfill. He also cited a Milwaukee trip by Mayor Sedlacek and Smith to inspect Heil Colec facilities.
