The State Wants to Usurp Local Control

The state wants to usurp local control

It’s the ninth inning of SB2 budget bill, and state Sen. Howard Pearl R-Loudon has introduced an amendment that would strip away local control over landfill siting by invalidating zoning laws as well as legal agreements. It also expresses a preference for the expansion of existing landfills. That would leave the six towns with landfills in them – Nashua, Lebanon, Conway, Bethlehem, Rochester and Success – to be literally dumped on forever.
