Dear Editor,
A week ago I wrote in reference to some criminals burning their garbage, dead animals and human waste in a clearing near the dump every day in the early evening. The toxic smoke blankets the area and stinks up everyone's house and makes them sick.
Well ... they must have read it because the burning stopped ... for two days. Now they do their burning between 5:00 and 7:00am in the morning hoping that the dark will hide their crimes.
And make no mistake. This is not the dump itself ... that continues to burn for two months now on the OTHER side. This is individuals doing this on public lands that I have witnessed and reported.
Is this really the best the police can do? To let this continue day in and day in and day out? Really?
I see the campaign ads showing up in the paper now. Smiling faces of wannabe politicians with clever catch phrases that mean nothing. How about showing a little initiative and stopping this travesty that happens every day? Then you could have something positive to lay claim to in your ads instead of the usual gum-flapping platitudes.
You want to make a difference? Here's your chance.
Steven Johnson
