Jerry Ryder, the president of disposal manufacturer InSinkErator, who flew to Raleigh from Wisconsin last month to lobby for ending the ban, brought reinforcements Tuesday to support his effort.
Kevin Keener, a Purdue University professor of food science, and Kendall Christiansen, a member of New York City's water board, both told Raleigh council members that there was no link between ground-up food scraps and clogged sewer lines.
Some council members said Tuesday that they felt they didn't have all of the facts when they voted for the ban on March 4.
Seems like we should try to get our facts before we make a vote on an issue, yes?
