Georgetown Mayor: environmental tax should be used to help clean up the city

City Mayor, Hamilton Greene, believes, that a percentage of the environmental tax ought to be allocated on a percentage basis to help the city. The Mayor was speaking during an interview with this newscast. In excess of 1 billion dollars was collected as revenue and that money is supposed to be used according to the law for the clean up of the environment. The tax is charged for the recycling of?Styrofoam? aluminium and plastic containers. ??

According to the Mayor, the Government does not seem friendly to the City Council for reasons for which he claims are unclear.
