Sanitation Mired in Politics
Gee, aren’t those of us who live in the northeast San Fernando Valley lucky? We have the “promise” of the Bureau of Sanitation to close Lopez Canyon Landfill in 1995. We have the AQMD finally on our side. The city of Los Angeles is spending millions on public relations to placate us with trees and task force meetings.
However, what does happen after 1995?
Are there presently any new sites being considered or developed to replace Lopez Canyon? What happens if the proposed Elsmere Canyon dump falls through?
What’s really going on?
As long as the same civil service bureaucrats run the sanitation department and the same council people--excluding Bernardi and Wachs--are elected, the problems of the northeast valley will persist.
It’s time for new blood in City Hall.
