While I never implied or stated that the 50% requirement was a problem, the
problem arose very soon after AB 939 was passed by the Legislature in that
panicky local governments opted to hand over responsibility for implementing AB
939 to big national companies who promised to basically handle the problem of
IMPLEMENTATION for cities in exchange for a long-term contract. I'm not certain
what is meant by recyclers being "threatened" by commercial franchise holders
by I am assuming in a legal sense.
