Newby Landfill Public Nuisance Victims, Newby Landfill, in just one month period, got 764 odor complaints, 26 confirmed odor complaints which the BAAQMD has identified the odor source from the Newby Landfill, and has issued TWO public nuisance tickets. It is an objective official judgement that Newby Landfill is a public nuisance. This dump should not be rewarded a expansion permit to operate another 30 years or more under the condition of being a public nuisance. We, the people of Milpitas, Fremont, San Jose, and Santa Clara will not tolerate the City of San Jose depriving our right of breathing unharmful air! Newby Landfill is built up on and next to the wetland which is restricted by Federal regulation under the reason to protect underground water pollution and prevent creating environmental hazards to human beings and other species’ lives and health. Sitting on the wetland, Newby landfill should never have been built. How dare those government agencies simply ignore it and give a permit to expand the landfill? For those who vote YES on the expansion, then we, the people of Milpitas, Fremont, San Jose, and Santa Clara will bring them to justice and keep the record of their votes in the history of California! Meanwhile, if any of them vote NO on the expansion, we, the people of Milpitas, Fremont, San Jose, and Santa Clara will donate money to make his/her statue in order to let them to be remembered by the people and history! Newby Landfill public nuisance victims, Feb 11th is our last chance to stop the monster expansion. Please mark your calendar and be there in front of San Jose City Hall for yourself and your future generations! Take a day off, bring your kids with you, put your business aside for a day, let us all go there to protest the government decision makers that will vote for the expansion and decide thousands and millions of people's fate for another 30 years! Let us to go there to see if those government officials care more about us, the people or Newby dump garbage!
