Norwalk's District B. Democrats are agressively pursuing their Freedom of Information Act request over the cities recent trash hauling contract with City Carting that was enacted last July. The five year $13 million dollar deal places City Carting in charge of solid waste disposal at the Crescent Street transfer station. This contract has been controversial since some Democratic Common Council members have alledged an unfair bidding process and a lack of due dillegence in researching alternatives.

District B Democratic Chairman Bobby Burgess and other members of the party held a press conference on Monday at the Sono Community Center to accuse the city and the Republican Moccia administration of delay tactics in turning over the requested documents.

Mayor Moccia denies this, citing the extensive amount of paperwork stretching over two years in reference to garbage collection and City Carting and further says that District B Democrats need to clarify exactly what documents they need in order to fulfill the request and be willing to pay for copies made.

Moccia also says that the Freedom Of Information office will be contacting the city to perhaps meet with the parties concerned and there could be arbitration.
