MEARS changed tactics. “But the Board is not here to solve the county’s landfill problem, only to act on this site.”
Mrs. Updike’s attorneys hadarrived by that time, and Waugh Crigler and T. C. Lea had something to add to the conversation.
Crigler noted that any use permit is subject to revocation if the conditions of the permit are not carried out, and he then proceeded to outline the Appeal Board’s own powers.

After more skirmishing on the legal points of whether the Updikes had “standing” to apply for a permit at all, Gardner concluded that “if legal points that can’t be settled here are raised, you can pass on the case to the courts.”
