Horrendous

January 6, 2006 is the date scheduled for a meeting between the Missouri Attorney's General Office, the City of Carthage and Renewable Environmental Soliutions, LLC (RES). RES is due to give a status report, responding to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources MDNR Complaints.
Carthage City Attorney, David Mounton, is quoted in The Carthage Press, Wednesday, December 14, 2005, that "RES has been anxious to put the lawsuit behind them. We've been anxious to have the problem fixed. Apparently, MDNR received enough phone complaints that the AG took notice." Mr. Mouton said that the City and State will tell RES on January 6 to "abate all odors immediately". http://www.carthagepress.com/articles/2005/12/14/news/news1.txt
Carthage City Councilmember, Jacki Boyer, was quoted as saying that 'the odor was "horrendous" last Wednesday'. Apparently when she called MDNR to report the problem, a MDNR employee told her 'you've got to learn to live with it'. I don't think that that was the answer Councilmember Boyer wanted to hear.
Can we wait 23 more days to shut down RES for good? January 6, 2006 and counting...
