Tossing the tarp law out the window? - 8.7.07
Today, the county commissioners will be exploring several issues. (I will be blogging live at 3 p.m. so check back for up to the minute decisions by the county).
One of the items on the agenda is the "tarp law."
A year has passed since the county implemented a tarp ordinance.
The ordinance requires materials to be covered by a tarp or other type of covering to prevent materials from falling out of vehicles. Solid waste in plastic bags is not considered covered under the law.
Since implementation, the ordinance has drawn criticism from several county residents and Commissioner Johnny Hutchins, who previously made a motion to allow residents to take up to three bags to the dump with out having to abide by the ordinance.
Today they will most likely make a decision on whether to change the law, get rid of completely or leave it the same. Check back later to see what the decided.
