Our L.A. good neighbor
PUBLISHED 7/10/08 ---- Give the City of Los Angeles a big hand for seeking innovative ways to get rid of its garbage. But why does it have to involve — yet again — a scheme to dump it on Kern County?

"Why" you ask -- because our five county supervisors buy into it and no one can stop them. posted by

This entire valley smells already. A little more putridity won't make much of a difference. posted by

You know, if this county didn't appear to be full of a bunch of country bumpkins, we might actually have more respect from our neighbors.
Note, I said appear. I think there are plenty of intelligent and well-meaning people in this town, we should just do a better job to prove that we're just as competent (if not moreso) than LA. posted by

Whats new LA is already dumping their low-life trash illegal aliens on us. Notice how gangs and crime are on the rise. posted by

LA isn't the bad guy...LA can't do any dumping of anything without our Kern County supes' nod of approval along with our lack of laws here. The meth labs can't operate in LA, the puppy mills can't operate there, and LA won't let anyone dump there -- but up here in Kern we are free to do whatever -- and our supes are free to wheel and deal with whoever. We may be getting dumped on, but we are free here -- and that is the way most work to keep it here. posted by

Sage...I don't think they can do that because the Bak motto is 'Life as it should be" -- your signs would contradict their carefully contrived illusion.

Whatever happened to Measure E? I know it was biosolids specific, but it did show that we're sick of LA dumping on us. I know it was challenged in court, but never heard of the outcome. posted by

We were once known as the Dust Bowl, now we're known as the toilet Bowl. Aren't we so proud. posted by

I think the program is good. Hate to say it, but we need the jobs here and mixing food scraps (along with things like wet and contaminated cardboard etc.) is a great idea. posted by

I would welcome said "smelly brew" over quarter-acre lots any day. And I am not troubled by flies or mooing cows.
