Reference THIS article in the Tuesday, November 25th edition of the Scranton Times.
Here's a key paragraph from the article:
"Council member Paul Nardozzi told the crowd that previous council members had attempted to negotiate a better deal with the DeNaples brothers even before the 1999 agreement that gave Dunmore only the state minimum fee. They denied those requests but offered to help the borough in other ways, he said. "
Let me translate Dunmore-speak into English: "They told us no, and we simply said 'Yes sir, thank you for the free turkey!'."
Look, I have no issue with the DeNaples family, their businesses, or anyone who wants to make living in an honest and fair way. This particular action though goes way over the top.
What I do have an issue with here is a simple fact: they are building a mountain out of garbage, and the beneficiaries will not be the community, future generations, the environment, the economy or anything else of the sort.
The community will have a mountain made out of garbage FORVER.
Future generations will look at this monstrosity and wonder "Why in the Hell did they do that?".
The environment will be put at risk through the possible contamination of ground water.
The only economy that will end up growing as a result of this will be that of the DeNaples family.
Congratulations Dunmore Borough Council: you once again never failed to fail because it was the easiest thing to do. Now go off to see Mr DeNaples, get a nice pat on the head, and maybe snag one of those free turkeys.
