BOARD'S HELP SOUGHT IN FIGHT OVER TRASH TRAIN

The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors heard Monday night from citizens from Bradshaw Valley in eastern Montgomery County, who asked for the board's help in fighting Roanoke County's proposed trash train and demanded to know the supervisors' position on the train.

Several Bradshaw area residents appealed to the board for help in their fight against the train.

"We don't want to be like the Lone Ranger, waiting for you people to decide what you're going to do," said resident Jack Waldeck. "A lot of people here would like to know your position on this," he said.

Board Chairman Henry Jablonski told the delegation that the board does not yet have a position on the train.

Jackie Romley, another resident, admonished the board for being complacent on the issue, warning the supervisors they did not have much time left to act. She said she was disturbed by the lack of information coming from the supervisors about the train.
