Contract Extension Passed
| Over the objections of a majority of county
commission and a host of other concerned citizens, the Loudon County
Solid Waste Commission, LCSWC, voted for a ten year extension to the
landfill operation contract with Republic Services. The extension was
viewed by many as making a bad contract worse.
With five years left on the current contract, it's inexplicable why the LCSWC was in such a mad rush to seal the deal. The vote was 6-1 with Pat Hunter being the only member to vote against the extention. This vote will obligate the the county, the cities the tax payers and rate payers for many many more years to a terrible contract. County commission will explore other avenues available. |
