Terry Noble: Lafarge folly
Saturday, June 25, 2005
t was with great amusement that I saw the headline in Wednesday's paper, "Lafarge sues county"!fter all, this "process" (costing taxpayers God only knows how much) we find ourselves being sued by the almighty Lafarge!t serves you right for not listening to the taxpayers.
Hopefully, we can settle out of court, just give them Old Town!'m sure there are millions of tons of gravel under it. We could change the name of our town to "Lafargeville, land of a thousand lakes" (chuckles profusely)! We could move the town to the ski mountain and give complete control to American Skiing Co., complete with a new courthouse.
did notice we were able to stop the slaughterhouse and meat-packing plant from being put in Milner (now rolling with laughter) because of the environmental impact! Geez, does this saga ever end? I hope not; at this rate we should be able to make David Letterman's top-10 list for "Top Ten Signs Your Town Is Going Down The Toilet."
