Recycling contract renewal

Kenner's ten-year recycling contract expired, and the council had to decide whether to keep curbside recycling at $3 a month (up 70 cents) or drop it. Both town halls supported it, but a social media poll showed 80% opposition. The council approved it 6-1; the mayor says corrected billing errors mean no bill increase until at least the next budget cycle.
