Default Depending on the government (FEMA) for debris pickup

Hopefully the new rumor that it's going to be picked up tomorrow will turn out to be true. I like that one a lot better -- unless we see "FEMA" on the side of the trucks!
It won't say FEMA on the truck, but the The Villages has decided to depend on government money to pickup the storm debris. They are using an outside contractor for the pickup.
The debris on the streets could have been picked up by Jacobs on a special Saturday pickup. There really is not that much on the residential streets.
The debris along the main highways outside of the residential streets should have been picked up by the landscaping companies that work for The Villages. They are the ones the made the piles.
It would have all been done by now.
I wonder how many residents are in favor of The Villages using FEMA funds for this purpose? I'm not.
