In a recent government meeting held on June 18, 2024, Commissioner Love raised concerns regarding ongoing issues at a local landfill that have been affecting nearby schools. During the discussion, Love highlighted a conversation with a school principal who reported that burning activities at the landfill have led to an influx of rodents into the school premises.
The principal expressed frustration over the situation, noting that the strong odors from the landfill have made it difficult for students to enjoy outdoor playtime. She emphasized that much of her day is spent addressing these challenges, including efforts to maintain a clean and safe environment for her students.
This meeting underscores the pressing need for local authorities to address environmental concerns that directly impact the health and well-being of students in the community. Further actions and discussions are anticipated as officials seek solutions to mitigate the landfill's effects on the school environment.
