Unanswered Questions (and some with ridiculous answers)

Questions/Answers from Board of Supervisor Meeting

1. Are there any other locations being looked at to determine best location for a landfill?

•Supervisor’s Answer) We don’t have enough time or money to purchase other land.

2. Couldn’t this land be sold and the money used to buy more suitable land?

•Supervisor’s Answer) This land is not for sale.

3. What are other options or plans?

•Supervisor’s Answer) No other option has been looked at and there are no other plans.

4. Are there any figures (budgets) that show how much this is going to cost?

•Supervisor’s Answer) No

Additional Questions we don’t have answers to……

• The supervisors have known there was a problem at the current landfill for six months. Why hasn’t there been a study or plan to resolve those issues?
• Why did the supervisors not look for the best location – one that would be more beneficial to all the citizens of Alcorn County?
• Why has a cost study not been done to determine the best solution?
• Why is there no back-up plan?
• How will the cemetery be protected?

The taxpayer’s money – our money- is being used to finance this and it is an issue that concerns all Alcorn County citizens. This decision will affect this county for the next 20 years or the life of this landfill and should not be taken lightly. Every person in this county will be affected in one way or another.
