City employee litters.

This is one of those matters that you simply wish had not occurred but that cannot be ignored.

After fixing a minor problem at the intersection of South Lexington and Fisher/Quarroppas a white City of White Plains truck (L86626) proceeded to Mamaroneck Ave., turned left, then right onto Mitchell Place.  I know.  I was driving behind it.

12/24/08 at 1:43 PM about half way down Mitchell Place the driver threw a paper cup out of the window onto the street.

Not a big deal but my friend and I both had the same reaction: what the heck is that?  Small stuff matters.  Stuff like this should not happen and when it happens it should not be tolerated.

No, do not fire the worker but certainly speak to the individual and make a policy statement to all city workers that such behavior is unacceptable and could result in a city worker being fired.  City workers should set a good example.  That should be part of the job description.
