Dunmore Council and Mayor Tim Burke sent their powerful, MUST-READ letter to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). One of the main points of the letter: “PADEP’s permitting process is fundamentally broken, leaving struggling towns like Dunmore to negotiate with billion dollar organizations by ourselves." For over 30 years, threats have been KSL's main negotiation tactic if Dunmore opposed them, pushed back or tried to get more money or protection for the community. In the past, their method worked. But today, threats are no longer tolerated. Kudos to the five members of Dunmore Council—Vince Amico, Michael Dempsey, Janet Brier, Beth McDonald Zangardi, Tom Hallinan — who are willing to stand up to the threats and bullying in order to represent the voices of the people who voted them into office to protect our community! Despite voting yes to sending an opposition letter to DEP, we can only infer that Carol Scrimalli and Tom Ehnot refused to sign the letter after contact was made by Keystone Sanitary Landfill.
