## Resource

New Orleans is raising trash pickup fees starting October 1st to tackle a $22 million budget shortfall—residential bills jump from $24 to $32.50 monthly, while businesses pay more too, from $48 to $64.50. The City Council approved it 6-1, despite public outcry, as sanitation costs have soared since 2011. Only Councilman Jason Hughes voted no, arguing the city should explore alternatives since service issues persist and residents are already paying more for less.
