"Waste Going In and Worse Coming Out"

"Waste going in and worse coming out" is how Carthage City Mayor, Jim Woestman described the odors that are associated with Renewable Environmental Solutions LLC (RES) operations. Mayor Woestman was in Jefferson City supporting House Bill 966, introduced by Rep. Steve Hunter R-Joplin, that the bill “would allow the DNR to crack down on repeat offenders that deprive my community and others of our clean air and water without the cumbersome and ineffective steps that DNR must perform now,” James R. Carter, of Neosho wrote. “My experience with DNR suggests that this will only be used in extreme cases, as it should be.” The Joplin Globe, Thursday, March 15, 2007.
