It’s enough to restore your faith in state government and the Department of Environmental Protection, and the guys and women that work there. I called an enforcement officer there on Wednesday mornng, and Wednesday afternoon he called me back. “I’m returning both your calls,” he said, a little on the curt side.
“Well,” I said, “You know what I’m calling about? ”
“Yeah, I think I do. I talked to her up there and I guess they’re trying to give them some time to take it away. How long has it been there?
“August,I think. “
“August?” he said. “How big is it?”
“It’s big. Base maybe fifty by fifty, and about eighty feet high, I think?
“Eighty? Well, it shouldn’t be there. I guess I’m going to have to do something to push things along a little faster.”
This was Wednesday afternoon. I don’t what he did or how he did it, but two backhoes and trucks were out there Friday, hauling the pile away.
This is great news for the Meadows! It is also great news for those of us who believe the little person doesn’t have a voice in big Government. Thank you Mike for your articles and updates. Also a Big Thank You for following up on this and getting something done to solve the problem.
Maybe there is a glimmer of hope for the people of Northampton after all! I’ll be damned….very cool article.
You are putting all the other media outlets in this city to shame with your coverage. Thank you so much. Please keep it coming.
Behold the power of the blog, especially when there’s a tenacious watchdog at the helm.
Nice job!
Kirby for Mayor!
