Well, how about let’s ride out to kirkland creek and look at all the trash dumped out there illegally. Or down to cedar creek there’s more illegal trash dumped there too. Pretty much any dirt road you drive down, that’s right you guessed it illegally dumped trash. But’s it not a problem. This landfill won’t take hazardous material, and it’s completely green. Do y’all even know what that means? I mean the dump would only give conecuh county 251 million dollars. But hey, their kids don’t need better educations, or better schools to send them to, or better roads,. etc, etc,. Y’all are more worried about a creek that would not be harmed in the first place. Lord have mercy do some research.

Thank you to all the NO DUMP supporters! It took everyone screaming to get the attention we needed to fight this monstrosity. We do believe we will win this fight! I am a faithful person and believe that God has always been leading us thru this battle. But, we realize that while HE leads, we still have to do our part and work. Less than two weeks before the vote, by Divine Intervention, we were able to retain the BEST legal team in the state, Balch & Bingham! THANKS BE TO GOD! And, Citizens for a Clean Southwest Alabama have tried to cover all the avenues to victory not only thru legal means, education of the public and public officials, public relations but also legislation. So if one fails, the next may be victorious. A special THANK YOU to Representative Alan Baker & Harry Shiver who are working hard on legislation which will certainly make a difference right now and in the future! We do believe in personal responsibility in Repton but we DONT believe that ANY COMMUNITY should be saddled with the nations largest DUMP! Because of the issues that landfills create and the potential dangers, a wise Commissioner once told me that landfills should be built out of NEED not GREED! There are some things you make money on and some things that cost you money in order to do the RIGHT THING! The Town of Repton and the Repton Restoration Society is sponsoring the Heritage Homecoming Festival and WJ Attractions Carnival this Saturday, April 30th in Downtown Repton. All food sold will benefit our NO DUMP cause – Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Homemade BBQ Plates etc. And, Carter Hospital Museum Tours will be available from 1pm-3pm. You must pick up your FREE Tour Ticket from the Repton Civic Center in Downtown. We invite everyone to visit and be a part of NO DUMP this Saturday!

Dear God, I hope this has some positive effect. Fishing and going to the creek to swim and play are some of the very few nice things to do around here. What do we pay tax money for?

We elect them and the special interests control them. If you look closely at any politician you can see the puppet strings. Special interests are at the end of it.

Three of the five Conecuh County Commissioners disregarded the will of the people and voted “YES” to approve the dump. The real question is why they would oppose the people they were elected to serve. Of course, they are silent on the matter. The truth will come out, it always does.

My roots run very deep in this area, my great grandparents are buried in Deer Range, along with my grandparents and mother and father, I had hope that one day when i retire that i could move back to this area, its has been a dream of mine for over 50 years, but i will not come home to a dump. I have heard that the 3 people that voted for this dump cannot be reach, I hope that they are thinking about their action when they go to bed at night, they have TRASH alot of dreams for alot of good people, I hope God will grant the people of this area a miracle and show them how to stop this dump. $ signs should not be more important then the people of this area,

Which goes to show that normal people dont have a say in anything. Im surprised that they have passed a law suit. I hope now the Conecuh County Commission will listen to us normal people.

Public figures who ignore the will of their electorate ought to do jail time, be placed in a stock on the public square and/or tarred and feathered and driven from their homes as their actions will surely drive others from theirs. Experts have testified that the landfill would be a big mistake. A good hurricane would make the “liners” a big joke…and one that wouldn’t be very funny.
