There has been a lot of news about the Windham Solid Waste Management District lately. Closing the Materials Recovery Facility seems to have been a foregone conclusion.
Now, let's hold on for a minute: The vote to close the MRF was a close one.
I think it's not fair to encourage Brattleboro to use its voting power to settle the issue. WSWMD Executive Director Bob Spencer should have made sure all member towns were treated fairly.
Simply put, Brattleboro should not have been allowed to vote on the issue. At the very least, the results should have been published to reflect things both ways.
