(Pollution Control Facility Siting
Appeal)
CONCURRING OPINION (by J. Theodore Meyer):
I am concurring simply to point out that the second hearing, appeal and decision in this
matter were unnecessary and an unfortunate waste of county, state and citizens time, and
taxpayer’s money. There were no
ex parte
contacts during the county’s first siting hearings,
and its original decision to approve local siting for LandComp should have been upheld.
For these reasons, I concur with the majority opinion.
J. Theodore Meyer
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
the above concurring opinion was filed on the 19th day of June, 1997.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
