Yet Another Heartless Corporation
We all know about the theft of the truckloads of chicken from the Food Bank of Delaware last week. The trucks and the chicken were recovered near Jersey City, NJ, but the truckloads of chicken were spoiled and had to be thrown away. From the News Journal:
Waste Management and the Delaware Solid Waste Authority’s Cherry Island Landfill refused [the Food Bank’s] request to waive a $3,000 disposal fee, Beebe said.
State Rep. William A. Oberle Jr., R-Beechers Lot, whose district includes the food bank, led representatives to the rescue, she said. Oberle and Reps. Gerald W. Hocker, R-Ocean View; Robert F. Gilligan, D-Sherwood Park; Gregory F. Lavelle, R-Sharpley; and Helene M. Keeley, D-Wilmington South, paid the fee with grants.
That is just disgusting. Those at WM and the DE Solid Waste Authority should be ashamed of themselves. And it is actions like this that earn corporations their deserved reputation of being heartless. And it is actions like this that lead us liberals to not trust the good will of corporations.
Unreal.
more like typical…
Delaware Solid Waste Authority is a waste.
Typical for sure. Much like River & Bay, Riverfront Dev. Corp.,and Sen Harris McDPL’s latest move Sustainable Energy Unit….these ‘authorities’ get spun off by the state and become entities w/o much oversight while they make (or spend like RDC) hand over fist.
DNREC has sent out a RFP for a SEU Contract Administrator .

Should of sold the chicken to the crabber’s in Ocean City and Kent narrows For bait. The food bank would have made a few dollars on the deal. Also the WYE river folks could of used them too
Couldn’t they just toss the spoilt chicken into one of Gary Stockbridge’s incinerators? That would make chickens a renewable energy source, wouldn’t it? It’s a win-win!
you sure the government didn’t have a hand in this?
I smell FEMA
What’s disgusting is a non-profit whining about a company not giving them a donation.
How many of you rushed to the mailbox with your donation to the food bank when you heard the news of the stolen trucks?
“ed representatives to the rescue”…”paid the fee with grants”
“grants” = tax payer dollars
not their money, not even campaign funds, They chose to grandstand and pretend to be heros with the taxpayers’ money.
