Robert Dougherty wonders if those involved with KSL and our political leaders will find religion around the matter of the landfill and get in line with the Pope.

Pope and landfill

Editor: In reading Pope Francis’s encyclical on climate, he challenges the world to clean up its filth. I feel he meant to clean up the material filth, which is destroying the Earth, not the moral filth, which also is destroying the Earth.

This makes me wonder about our political leaders and those involved in the Keystone Sanitary Landfill proposed expansion. Maybe they think that the next generation will take care of this problem, or are they just not of sound mind?
