I did attend the Commissioners meeting on Tuesday night. As reported the
next day in the "Observer" the board voted 9-1 to make Athens a nuclear
waste free aone.

Unfortunately, the resolution has no teath. The commission, nor any other
local or state govt, cannot usurp federal authority in this matter
(transportation of nuclear waste via interstate highway or rail). The
resolution and vote was purely symbolic.

In another matter this may not be so. As you might have heard, The city of
Arcade in Jackson Co. is planning on opening a "MEGA-DUMP". This dump site
will definately affect the quality of life here in Athens. The commission
is supporting a grass roots group opposing the dump, providing 50/50
matching funds to the group. This, however, will probably be insufficient
to prevent construction and operation of the dump. 

I urge everyone to oppose, by every means available, the construction of
the MEGA-DUMP in Arcade.
