Hi Tim,
I'll be there to get more information and study the FACTS. Art's too busy with other projects to attend.
See you there.
Cheers, Karen CH.

Yes! I was there along with my neighbor and provided testimony. It was clear from today's meeting that MDE should deny the permit following all of the concerns and statistics members of the community brought forward. Additionally, those representing Tolson were unprepared and were not able to answer the majority of the questions. These are obvious indicators that this fill is only being opened for those that own it to profit and residents to suffer with the inhalation of H2S gas, noise and groundwater contamination it will create.
