Don’t trade Bluegrass for pollution

Herald-Leader

Some council members and the chamber of commerce claim, “We don’t have shovel-ready land for large industrial entities.” Well, boo-hoo. Let’s trade our beautiful Bluegrass for air and water pollution. Just ask the residents of the Athens community what they think of the Blue Sky development.

Answer?

“Taint on the mountain, sewage in the air.” Amen.
