A citizen-led fight against an indefensible 50-year expansion of Keystone Sanitary Landfill in Dunmore and Throop gained ground. Grassroots opposition to a natural-gas-fired power plant in Jessup spotlighted the folly of selling out small communities to giant corporations for a few jobs and a pittance paid in lieu of taxes.
