I am expecting a lawsuit will be filed over this by someone ? Hopefully ?
Wow, I am the resident from Val Verde that she called a fear monger, tool, and idiot. I am just one of the ones that she cares so much about. I agree that help is needed. Too sit on a board that is suppose to listen to its residents and to call them names the entire time is disturbing. There are free groups out there somewhere that could help her. That would be a start.
Should it even be possible for a few to vote agreeing to something that will affect many? Something this impacting should be voted on by the whole community. Are the people in Castaic even fully aware of what has happened and what it means?
The concern should be why is there even a need to restrict anyone’s comments concerning the landfill? Could it be the landfill knows there will be complaints and concerns? something Castaic hasn’t experienced yet.
Listen to the comments from Val Verde and think about it.
Thank you Darryl Manzer, a one-man csi, for digging into this messy issue. I think your findings are probably very accurate and that we scv dwellers will regret this dump expansion forever more.

There is also a link there to a pdf of the agreement.
The problem is, too much garbage from too many people going to too few dumps that are filling up too fast. Most cities are suffering the same plight!politics and Darryl’s rant, are just a cover up for the “we don’t want your garbage in our back yard”mentality. Use less plastic,recycle more, make a compost pile,use cloth diapers too, then you’ll make a difference. Otherwise grow the dumps!
