Candidates For Office, What About the Landfill?

This is the second issue that anyone running for office in the City of Huntington should be able to articulate.

What about the Deitz Hollow landfill?

Isn't the City required to have it closed down (environmentally) by 2017?

When was the order issued?

What environmental steps were outlined in the closure order?

Have any of these closure steps been completed?

What exact closure steps remain?

What is the projected cost for total closure of the landfill?

What about the WV State Landfill Closure Fund? Does Huntington qualify?

What will you do to move this process forward?

These questions should be answered by any serious candidate for Mayor or City Councilperson.

May we hear from you, candidates?
