The St. Charles Parish Council on Monday told its garbage collector to pick up the trash or forget about picking up its final paycheck. However, Chief Administrative Officer Tim Vial said more research would have to be done to determine whether the parish could legally withhold the final payment to Waste Management Inc. .... "I've had some people complain that they haven't had trash picked up in six weeks," said Ganesier "Ram" Ramchandran, who cosponsored the payment resolution with Councilman Richard Duhe.
