The company that is trying to put a LANDFILL/GARBAGE DUMP right at the gateway of Live Oak, is still at it. They pieced together another proposal for a permit, knowing full well it was ONLY PIECED TOGETHER. Why? Because...
Live Oak — The Suwannee County Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday night to hold a public hearing regarding placing a moratorium on proposed landfills in the county. The hearing will be held on Jan. 3, after 6 p.m., at City Hall.

Commission chairman Wesley Wainwright said Wednesday morning that County Attorney Hal Airth will bring a draft of the moratorium to the public hearing and at that time the board will be able to make the language more specific to meet the county's needs.

Commissioner Jesse Caruthers proposed the idea of a moratorium to be in effect for one year so the county can have an opportunity to revise its land use regulations.

"Hopefully making it restrictive enough so that the landfill will not happen here," Caruthers said last week.

However, the company that applied for a zoning special in October for the purpose of locating a class I landfill north of Live Oak before withdrawing it on Dec. 5 filed another application on Monday, Dec. 19.

THE DAY BEFORE THE VOTED moratorium on proposed landfills TOOK PLACE! Unmitigated gall!

COMMENT BY schreibe
It looks to me like the County "Commissioners" really want to "revise its land us regulations".... and "hopefully making it restrictive enough so that the landfill will not happen here"!... BUT! there has been a lot of money spent on the proposed land fill, AND, the money people are not about to let this go!... after all there's lots of MONEY invovled here! To Hell!....your future! To Hell!.. with the future of Live Oak, and the future of the citizens of Live Oak. The 1% are speaking loud and clear! Move aside all you people...we are coming!
