Carthage Odor Ordinance

Today's The Joplin Globe, Carthage Council Panel Seeks New Odor Ordinance, reports on the City of Carthage's efforts to take (over) the control of odors in the City. "The action Tuesday afternoon is yet another step in the city’s four-year, unsuccessful effort to rid its residents of what they describe as a sickening stink that has plagued the town since Renewable Environmental Solutions opened up shop. The ordinance would be used by city officials to enforce clean-air standards and deal with odor violations that come from businesses and industries in the city limits."
