Congressman Paul Kanjorski - response 7/23/08


The Alliance Landfill Task Force has received a written signed response from Congressman Paul Kanjorski. The response letter that the Alliance Landfill Task Force received also was addressed to Alliance Against Alliance/President Bill Toman. However, when the Alliance Landfill Task Force met with the staff of Congressman Paul Kanjorski; Mr Toman was not present at the meeting. The Alliance Landfill Task Force met with Congressman Kanjorski's staff in his Wilkes-Barre office. Present at the meeting were representing the Congressman / Tom Williams and Fred Ney ----representing Alliance Landfill Task Force / Bob Folger and Frank Scavo.
While the Alliance Landfill Task Force is happy to see that Congressman Kanjorsk has responded to us, we are somewhat disappointed in his style of response. Mr. Williams and Mr. Ney who represented the Congressman Kanjorski were presented a letter addresed to Congressman Kanjorski requesting PaDEP documentation records on Alliance Landfill. The Alliance Landfill Task Force letter also asked for Congressman Kanjorski to call for an investigation into the PaDEP and its current operations. The Congressman's response letter makes no reference to these points. Also, to date the Alliance Landfill Task Force has not received the requested documentation asked for in our letter presented to Congressman Kanjorski's staff.
