Okay, the petition is up at Lainie's now. Everybody please go sign it!
There are 926 registered voters in Honeyville. The last time a petition was circulated (about the water rate hike) they had 200 signatures. I think we're going to need a lot more than 200 signatures.
The county attorney says we can't overturn the city council's decision, but if we are able to show that the biodiesel plant will be a detriment to the community we can hopefully keep it from getting approved and built.
The next city council meeting with a public comment period is July 13th. Let's aim to have 400 signatures by then, and bring your concerns. Make sure you address this specific processing method, or they'll say, "Well, this process is different," and blow us off. Some concerns we definitely need to bring up are:
1. noise pollution
2. light pollution
3. odor pollution
4. lower property values
5. long-term financial viability of his project
6. safety concerns
Anybody who is willing to go around and knock on doors to get signatures, let me know in the comments. We'll start next week.
