During a recent city council meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding a proposed landfill near the Frasier community, with council members expressing strong opposition based on health and safety implications. Councilwoman Green, who visited the site with the executive director of Girls Inc., highlighted the community's apprehensions about illegal dumping and the potential dangers posed by the landfill's proximity to schools and residential areas.

Green emphasized the importance of ensuring a safe environment for children, particularly girls, referencing the organization's mission to empower young women. She criticized the proposal as deceptive, arguing that it skirts the spirit of the law while adhering to technicalities. \"I wouldn’t want a landfill that close to my children,\" she stated, urging her fellow council members to vote against the project.

Other council members echoed her sentiments, with Councilwoman Walker questioning whether anyone would want to live near the proposed facility. Reverend Doctor Cooper suggested moving forward with a vote to reject the proposal, citing the community's clear stance against it.

The discussions reflect a growing concern among council members about the environmental and health impacts of the landfill, particularly in light of recent discussions around chemical safety and community well-being. The council is expected to take a decisive vote on the matter in the coming sessions, as community voices continue to advocate for their rights to a safe and healthy living environment.
