Readers Respond: Can't Believe Hahn

Just thought I'd share this letter published in today's Daily News:

Couldn't believe it

Re "Palmdale's demand for EIR may halt trash plan" (May 6):

I just couldn't believe that Mayor James Hahn would pledge to end the city's contract with the Sunshine Canyon landfill in Granada Hills. The reason he gave was to "help" the environment and then is planning to send the trash out of the city limits, like Palmdale where the Antelope Valley landfill is located.

I could not believe that the mayor would actually jeopardize Palmdale's environment just so he can look good - because he kept his word to the public that votes for him. That is why I am glad that Palmdale is not going to go down without a fight and that they are going to "respond aggressively ... to protect the Antelope Valley community."

It's good to hear people in Los Angeles talking sense!
