The Malden City Council voted 10-0 this week to place a trash tax repeal on the ballot in November, just a few months after it was enacted.

Bob Miller, head of Malden Taxpayers for Accountability, the group leading the repeal drive, called the vote a vindication for city residents.

"The people win, because we got it on the ballot," he said.
