Last night, after all was said and done, our Mayor Bob Kellar asked the City Manager Ken Pulskamp to set up a meeting with Burrtec and ask them to abandon the proposed Sierra Highway and Golden Valley Road MRF location officially, in writing. Mr. Pulskamp said that he would set up that meeting.

The first April City Council meeting has been canceled due to the election.  The next City Council meeting is set for April 22 and the next Canyon Country Advisory Committee meeting will be held on April 16.  Hopefully, by that time Mr. Pulskamp will have successfully obtained Berrtec's commitment in writing and we will be able to move on to other pressing issues.  We will be periodically requesting status and informing you of the results.

Neither the Signal nor the Daily News published articles that discussed the MRF today.  Articles were posted on SCVTALK, the KHITS blog and I Heart SCV.  Links to those articles are included below.

I found the KHITS article most informative and the I Heart SCV article most questionable.   In the I Heart SCV article I was called the MRF "Gang Leader".  Thinking about it today, I came to the realization that if I am indeed a "Gang Leader", I take pride in being Your Gang Leader.  Being out in front of a group of community members with the goal of saving and improving our neighborhoods is the place I want to be.  Cornel Higgins, an American UN commander, once said "If you are out in front, you will get shot at".  It didn't stop him. It won't stop me either.
