Please call or write to our stupid Governor and tell him you support our composting facilities and he should cease and disist in his actions to close them down.
Oh ya, did I mention that the governors brother in lawn happens to own the competitors composting facility in Middlebury and that in Vermont we have a company called Omya.
The state is applying uneven "justice" in this instance. By refusing to allow Vermont Compost Company's first appeal to be considered before imposing the cease and desist the state denied due process. If Vermonters are to follow the laws, why doesn't state have a responsibility to apply consistent enforcement measures? OMYA has been operating in violation of the law, has been proven to pollute neighbors' wells with arsenic and manganese but has been allowed them to keep operating. VCC's environmental and neighborhood impact cannot even be compared to that of OMYA, yet here they are with the C&D.
Call or write governor Douglas today:
http://governor.vermont.gov/index.shtml Don't let them bully you because you 're contacting them from out of state. You buy these products from us all the time and it matters to you that we can continue to provide them to you and environmental issues are not local. They effect everyone. John
