Who Does RES Think They Are?

It is sure curious to me who RES thinks they are? I know that I never gave them permission to declare Carthage a dumping zone. RES was caught last month accepting animal parts from Wichita, KS. Obviously I wasn't the only one caught off guard. Carthage City Attorney David Mouton said, "It certainly raises a lot of other issues if they are taking waste from other sites and other states." Carthage Mayor Kennth Johnson said, "It seems to me they shouldn't be starting something new until they get the current situation fixed." Mayor Johnson said that City Officials were unaware that materials other than turkey byproducts from nearby Butterball Turkey Co. were being taken to the plant, until a spill of animal parts last Thursday (5/19) at Central Avenue and Baker Boulevard. City Atty. Mouton said that he is seeking an explination about a spill of animal parts that were being transported from Wichita, KS to the plant.
