S.B. 70, the bill that would allow Envirocare to double its capacity for receiving toxic waste, has apparently been halted – at least for this year. Envirocare officials claim that there are too many hurdles to jump and have withdrawn their submittal to the legistlature to expand. However……..our representatives are STILL scheduled to vote on this today or Monday (you know, it’s good for our economy…..jobs…..all that stuff.).
This is obviously a p.r. tactic to make Envirocare look “good” and allow legislators who are in favor of this dangerous bill to go ahead with it anyway. If legislators vote to in favor of this bill, Envirocare will get its way, without ruining its “reputation”.
HEAL Utah is calling for continued vigilance and action to make sure this issue stays alive and Envirocare doesn’t get its way. Learn how you can help HERE.
