Too bad for citizens that VDH is political and more concerned about keeping sewer rates low in large cities rather than the health and safety of rural Virginians. If you have half a brain, you will look specifically at the front page article of the 12/13/06 "News & Advance," where Bedford county neighbors of a sludge field storage "facility" share their experiences--or should I say horror stories. It is longer than 750 words so perhaps you won't look at it--but, maybe you will actually let facts and citizen testimonials be your guide in this no brainer of a decision. I will be happy to send you the link or mail you all the hard copies of the news article--but don't read it before lunch. VDH has much too cozy a relationship with the sludge industry. VDH now hires new staff from the sludge industry (Scott Hailey). They say the more times you tell a lie, the easier it gets. We'll have to ask Mr. Hailey if this is true. Importing sludge is like a cancer for the state--why on earth would we want to sicken citizens so out of state sludge haulers can make few more bucks.?
