“I don’t think we’re going to have the luxury of not doing anything. You’ve got an at-large community in Greensboro that’s going to read tomorrow’s paper that we’re going to spend $250 million in solid waste disposal over 25 years, and we could save $100 million. And we have District 2 that does not want to be the host of the city’s trash. I am not in favor of reopening the White Street Landfill, but we cannot sit idly and disregard other possibilities that can bring tax savings to the city, but perhaps economic development, which is definitely needed in Greensboro."

I was actually confused about the source of this quote. Can Jordan confirm that this quote is from Knight? Many people voted for Knight expecting he would reopen the landfill.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to see Kee showing some leadership on this issue as opposed to my last d2 representative.
Thank you Brandon for raising that question. I contacted Jordan and he said the quotation was actually from representative Jim Kee. I have changed it above and Jordan said he is going to make it more clear in his post as well. Thanks!
