Quote of the Day

“The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) does not live up to its mission “to protect and enhance the Commonwealth’s natural resources—air, water, and land—to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of all people…” On the contrary, our state is courting the trash industry, and it wants New Bedford to become a trash hub. New Bedford’s rat problem is a direct consequence of this practice. And have you seen or heard of the dead bunnies yet? It would be hard to legally prove a connection, but where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.”
Christina Lambert-Gorwyn, Resident of New Bedford.
An opinion piece urges New Bedford residents to oppose a proposed trash transfer station, arguing it threatens public health and empowers corporate interests backed by weak regulation. A public hearing is set for Aug 26.
