There were two types o f people who signed the petition which has led to the ballot before us. One type, which includes myself, does oppose the landfill proposal and would like to see it stopped This opposition is not based solely on environmental concerns (although these arc certain ly a factor), hut rather on the perccp non that Morrow County, and the City o f Boardman in particular, can do much better W c do not want to see the image oi our community soil ed by a designation as ‘ 'Portland's D u m p ".
