The proposed Conecuh Woods Landfill in rural southwest Alabama will be the largest landfill in the United States when completed. Up until now, the citizens engaged in opposition to the landfill have more or less been involved in a fair fight. With a change in public relations firms, from the Patrick Slevin Group of Tallahassee, Florida to Matrix LLC of Montgomery, the dynamic has changed tremendously. Below is a post I wrote for the Stop The Conecuh Woods Landfill blog:
With the defacto mouthpiece of the Conecuh Woods Landfill being a former Alabama Democratic State Executive Director, has Conecuh Woods politicized the process? Does this mean that Democratic Chairmen in Monroe, Escambia, and Conecuh counties have been enlisted in the big money fight to bring an environmental atrocity to Southwest Alabama? If you are opposed to the landfill and live in one of the most affected counties mentioned above, you might want to ask your local Democratic chairman if they are opposed to the landfill or for it. You might want to ask them what their relationship is to Conecuh Woods mouthpiece and former State Democratic Executive Director, Phillip Kinney.
In case you don't know who your local Democratic chairmen are, I am happy to provide contact information for you:
Conecuh: The Honorable Tommy Chapman home: 251-578-1406 work 251-578-4977
Monroe: Mr. Milton Coxwell home 251-743-4055 work 251-575-2146
Escambia: Mr. Reo Kirkland Jr. home 251-578-5115 work 251-867-5711
Just so you don't think that I am invading these gentleman's privacy by publishing their phone numbers, this information is easily accessible on the State Democratic website.
