I'm a bit perturbed because I thought there wouldn't be any trash pickup today, so I didn't put it out on the curb.

I was wrong.

They need to be consistent. If banks and schools are closed, I don't expect trash pickup that day.

I remember when a majority of Arizonans rejected the bill to make it a holiday in the early 90s, and the NFL yanking the Super Bowl from Tempe in '93.

I was unaware trash men were paid by the federal government.

Not directly, no. The song & Do The Right Thing both came out in '89, right around the time AZ voted (and rejected) to get MLK Day recognized.

Who said they were?

Are bank tellers and local school teachers paid by the federal government?
