Well, well, well...now it looks as though the "SCREWING" that Republic Services has been giving the citizens of City of San Angelo the past few years is finally paying off in dividends for its shareholders. Hmmmm, you reckon any "City Staffers" are reaping in on some these dividends? "HOW CONVENIENT"

It would be interesting to see if any of the city council or their family members have shares of the company
