New administration should prioritize littering issue

February 28, 2025

We want to thank Richard Treadwell for his letter to the editor in the Feb. 14 edition. We agree 100% with his opinion that trash issues need to be addressed. Treadwell's proposals on how to help curb the trash littering and dumping were excellent. These should not be too hard to implement. Our elected officials need to step it up. We have been asking for trash and littering issues to be addressed for over 11 years now. We also urge the new administration in Delaware to make this a priority. Thank you.
