What to do with the county's trash is back in the news, as legislators and county officials face off over the county's flow control ordinance. If you didn't catch it on Sunday, we got two of those folks, Rep. Alan Clemmons of Myrtle Beach and Solid Waste Authority chairman Danny Hardee, to share their take on the issue in a pro/con.
Clemmons:
Flow control ordinances create government-owned monopolies which can charge above-market prices because customers are prohibited by law from using a competitor.

Hardee:
The flow control ordinance ensures low disposal fees for Horry County citizens, provides funds for our county’s state-of-the-art recycling and youth education programs, creates jobs for Horry County citizens, and prevents the possibility of trash being dumped in Horry County that is produced outside of Horry County.
