Don’t you want to know what is going into the air from the Dunn Landfill? It can’t possibly be good to be breathing it. Since the State of New York is supposed to protect people you have ask why they don’t do the testing to find out what is inhaled by the kids in the school. Here is one answer $$$

Resolution from Rensselaer County (NY) Legislature, but mums the word from DEC and Gov. Holding firm on their socially irresponsible decision to place a landfill next to a school and to consistently continue its operation in spite of all the documented opposition from all areas of the community.

This issue has received attention in the race for county executive, county legislators, Rensselaer Common Council, Rensselaer Mayor and East Greenbush Town Board. NY needs to reverse its socially irresponsible actions in approving and allowing its continuation with what amounts to self supervision.

Readings of particulate matter from the Rensselaer City School (NY) in June. We don’t know what is in those measurements. DEC and DOH ignored requests to test the air in and around the Dunn landfill for toxins. Prevailing wind blows toward the school. Huge failure to make certain the public is safe.

Times Union Letter to the Editor from Tom Ellis, an original member of REC calls on the DEC commissioner to close the Dunn Landfill. It would be a responsible action to review the 12/23/24 permit decision that produced significant public dissatisfaction and a pending lawsuit from the City and REC.
