Brant should have taken time on landfill

Editor, The Sun:

It is not often I agree with most editorials in the news media, but your editorial on the proposed "Brant Landfill" certainly was right on target.

A committee from both sides of the issue and some neutrals all from Brant needed to look into the proposal and go back with a recommendation, then possibly a referendum. I think the board panicked.

I also wonder if the same people who are opposed to a landfill (Brant, Evans residents) are also concerned about the improperly closed, unmonitored landfills, one in Brant, three in Evans, one on Beaver Meadow Creek, two on Big Sister Creek, all of which drain into Lake Erie.
