Red, White, and Confused WEHC

This week there was big news coming out of Russell County regarding the proposed landfill.  Join me on this episode as I check back in with some of the citizens who have been fighting against the mega-landfill, including Jared Ring, Tammy Garrett, Brandi Hurley, Amy Branson, Ben Price, and Jennifer Chumbley.
The major take-away from this week's BOS meeting: the citizens have won a battle, but the war against a mega-landfill isn't over. Stay vigilant, Russell County.

10,000 tons of trash per day = 400 trucks of trash per day
On today's episode, I chat with Jared Ring, Tammy Garrett, Brandi Hurley, and Amy Branson about the leaked host agreement for the potential private mega landfill in Russell County, as well as the letter of support from Scott County and the upcoming meeting with the Board of Supervisors (Monday, June 3rd at 6pm).

In this episode, I check in with Amy Branson and Jennifer Chumbley regarding the proposed mega landfill in Russell County. Where do things currently stand and how can citizens get involved?

Join me in this episode as I chat with Gustavo Marangoni, a senior Political Science major at UVA Wise, about his experimental research this semester on the power of celebrities in politics, specifically Taylor Swift. Can Taylor Swift influence the political attitudes of young people?

If you have driven through Russell County recently, you have probably noticed signs in people’s yards that say “No Landfill -- Moss 3."  This week I chat with a group of citizens who are very active on this issue (Amy Branson, Jennifer Chumbley, Ben Price, Tammy Garrett, and Brandi Hurley) to give us some details about what is happening with the proposed landfill in Russell County, what the timeline on this process looks like, what the challenges have been for them, and how citizens can get more involved. 

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Derek Webb, who is running for Treasurer in Washington County, VA.
