Quoting Mr J. Lichting “Fitting use of the property.” “It’s a perfect place.” Nothing is perfect, this sounds like a completely ignorant statement to me after listening to Mr. Eckberg speak last night at the metro- center meeting. He said this is absolutely the worst place to put a landfill. Mr Eckberg gave a sound scientific presentation which explained why.Our government has gotten to big and powerful is the love of money and or power blinded these people from seeing the truth. The pagel pit landfill was ordered to close years ago how is it still operating, who is being paid off? Is there no fear of God in our country any longer? Corruption is an ugly thing to look at. These people are not being held responsible to anyone they just do what they want with no accountability. They have taken the ten commandments out of our courthouses so their consciences won’t be pricked or reminded that their is a God when they make these kinds of Godless decisions for monetary gain.No wonder Rockford IL is on the countries worst cities list.

Ladies, ladies…although I have the utmost respect and admiration for your perseverence and research…don’t you know that this is a “done deal”? Whenever the William Charles conglomerate and the Scott Christiansen “good ol’ boys” put their heads together toward a common goal, it’s all over. There will be hearings and opposition witnesses delivering research figures and evidence supporting the opposition. Then attorneys representing William Charles will pick apart their testimony and produce paid “expert” witnesses to support the landfill. Board members will pretend to listen attentively, but they all will know that the decision had already been made behind closed doors. And if you’re wondering where that $20 million went, I would venture a wild guess that some of it will land in the political coffers of our loyal county board members.
If I were a betting man, my money would be on William Charles and the “good ol’ boys” of the County Board. But I hope that I would lose.

Why do we need this or want it? The outside money would like this to happen — Chicago, lower Michigan, Indiana. I live right off 251. S— flies off their trucks. Please don’t let it happen.
