But they remained upset and really started to worry after the supervisors voted to purchase the Stover land. Jackson District still didn't think the purchase a good investment of its tax dollars, but abstained from voting because the seller happened to be their representative’s boss and (despite contrary assurances from the Commonwealth’s Attorney) Supervisor Henry thought voting their views might present some conflict of interest.
I couldn’t figure out how a vote against the Stover purchase might be a conflict of interest for Mr. Henry and felt he should have followed the lead of Supervisor Miller who decided to abstain for no apparent reason.
At this point the residents of AmissviUe started looking around for outside help. Col. Bingham (Mr. Henry doesn’t support his candidacy) managed to find them an experienced landfill litigator who came out from the city, walked the site for a few hours, and then met with concerned residents back at the fire hall.
In a short time Attorney Leonard Miller convinced his audience of three things:
• There’s a slight chance he can get the supervisors to put the landfill somewhere else.
• There’s a much better chance he can force them to build a safe, welloperated landfill wherever they build it, and
• Good lawyers aren’t cheap.
