Why Are They Lying About the 1997 Fill for Fields Deal?


We have again confirmed with former superintendent Frank Ehrhart that in 1997 the board considered what he called "a similar deal".

In 1997 the Westcheter County Health Department advised the precautions and procedures that would be required to enter into a fill for fields deal. The board knew in 1997, three of the same board members were on the board in 2002. They knew and they allowed an illegal landfill to be created anyway. Now the board president is lying into the camera and vice president sits in silence.

We urge all present board members to call Mr. Ehrhart. His story has not changed, he has not equivicated or obfuscated. The evidence is right there in the report prepared by Gannet Fleming for the "Town Meeting". There was a similar proposal in 1997. The board was fully aware and turned it down. Gannet Fleming saw 1997 documents that led them to put the similar deal reference in their report. We have foiled for the documents and as usual are being stretched to the legal limit before we can get the information. Seems the only legal limits Valhalla recognizes are those that restrain information from getting to the public.

Who should be accountable?
