Thank You. It is time to shut it down.
LOL… it’s amazing that anyone could actually believe anything you write. It’s just all so wrong. Every bit wrong… if not outright lies. You are clearly in the pocket of Val Verde. You don’t even know that the VVCAC is an “ADVISORY” committee. It doesn’t “Advocate.” Where do you get all your misinformation from? The VVCA? Val Verde residents? It’s all nonsense. But I enjoy reading fiction… makes things so much more interesting when facts aren’t involved. #AnxiouslyAwaritingNextFiction
He is not the pocket of anyone. The VVCAC may state it is an advisory committee, but they don’t listen the community. This is an opinion of his. I actually agree with him. With so much controversy and who knows what else, this request of Chiquita Canyon Landfill should be postponed until there is more clarification on the TRUTH.
Roger, you should read the original contract. You will see no funds can be used at any time to give a bad name to the land fill. It also states that they will never go over a certain tonnage, which is soon approaching. You will also notice that there is gas equipment. Reading is a wonderful tool. Don’t waste the gifts of the facts. I am attaching the original contract.

Leon here. Standing back an looking at this issue and reading Darryl’s commentaries and many of the responses from people on the CATC and VVCAC and the rest of the alphabet soup, it appears there is one fundamental fact that has escaped some (but not most) people, and it’s this: This is a dump. It is not an amenity that makes the Santa Clarita Valley prettier, or nicer, or a better place to live, or raises our property values. It is a dump. Yes, I think it’s important to explore the health issues and the management and either prove or disprove various allegations. But that does not change the fact that even if it were the cleanest dump in the world, it is a dump. And more to the point, it is a dump that WE DO NOT NEED, because it primarily DOES NOT SERVICE US. Fully EIGHTY percent of the trash that goes into that dump IS NOT OURS. It comes from other parts of Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties (and elsewhere). And if its maximum allowable daily and weekly capacity is allowed to double, the percentage will only get worse. I’ve heard people say we need to “do our fair share.” Well I’m sorry, but that notion is garbage. Doing our “fair share” would be handling OUR OWN trash – not the rest of Southern California’s. Doing our “fair share” means we dispose of the garbage WE generate rather than making somebody else do it. Period. That is what “fair share” means. Look it up. If this dump ONLY served the Santa Clarita Valley, fine. But it does not, by any stretch of the imagination. Putting a dump next to a residential community in the Santa Clarita Valley is NO DIFFERENT from the many things Los Angeles County (and the state and others) have tried to stick us with over the last four decades. It is NO different, in any way, shape or form, from (working backward) Cemex, the proposed Elsmere dump, the toxic dump that was going to go into the riverbed in Sand Canyon in 1979-80, and a host of other things. It makes absolutely NO SENSE for anyone who lives in this valley to support YET ANOTHER BAD THING that L.A. County wants to foist upon us. We need to rattle every saber in our arsenal to make sure this dump closes in 2019 (because that’s what the collective “we” agreed to, even if it was just a small sub-sector), and on a local political, committee, town council, etc., level, it is high time we remove from office anybody who has either drunk the Kool-Aid or is simply too damn dumb to know that at the end of the day, a mega-regional-dump is a BAD THING for the Santa Clarita Valley.
Again… I believe it would be great if the management and opinion contributors actually followed their own policies and supported and encouraged facts. Actual facts. Not misinformation and lies reported here. I would think that hired management would be concerned about loosing its biggest financial contributer, the City of Santa Clarita. Yes… Tax payer dollars paying the salaries of those who wildly comitt liable against a local SCV business. You may not like their business, but I don’t like your dirty “news” business either. Landfills are held to a very high standard. This “news” agency funded by the City of Santa Clarita and the school districts of our Valley deserve should learn to hold themselves to a high standard.
In fact Leon… Perhaps we should piece apart every part of Darryl and your “reporting” and determine just how many of your alleged facts are actually fiction and total lies. Then maybe The City of Santa Clarita will step in and require actual news and facts given they’re the ones signing your paycheck. We deserve honesty and integrity which is clearly lacking with our Public Access News. I’m really surprised someone hasn’t sued you for what you’ve written above. #Justsaying
Didn’t know I get a paycheck, Roger, much less one signed by the city of Santa Clarita, but OK, I’ll take that into consideration when evaluating your “facts.” But as stated, I couldn’t care less about your opinion. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about the county siting a landfill that we do not need. (Leon)
Roger & Steve Roter, I am a Val Verde resident. I’ve been following Darryl’s commentary and appreciate his non-corporate funded viewpoint. It is a side we are truly missing. I’ve been to meetings in which we’re told there are no problems. However, when research is done, the opposite is uncovered. How are we supposed to trust a corporation that denies that sludge has been accepted, when in fact it’s documented that it has? Roger & Steve, have you personally done any research into this topic or are you looking at the $$$$$ involved? Do you have a stake in the issue? If so, what is it?
Leon… You probably shouldn’t tell constituents you don’t care about their opinions. You sound very arrogant as a paid representative of the city of Santa Clarita’s public access news station. I think you and your advisory committee and board should be held accountable for what you’ve allowed to occur on this site which is totally subsidized by taxpayer dollars. SCVTV and scvnews are out of control and need to be reigned in. Libel will land you and everyone involved in court. Check your “facts” before you print them. It’s journalism 101. Thanks for listening.
Dear Editor,
In an effort to be fair and just, I recommend every comment here to have a first and last name of the person posting.
If they are too scared to post their own name, then they should not be allowed to do so.
I am a community leader both in Val Verde and Castaic. I include my name and have more at stake than any of the people who won’t follow the rules.
Thank you.
Greg
To everyone on this site…..Geese is Susie Evans. I will make the necessary changes for any further posts I make.
