Dennis Wilson Doesn't Understand What all the Fuss is About

The Pittsburg Morning Sun led with a headline, Talking Trash, Monday, September 18, 2006, describing the clash over the proposed landfill on state line. Dennis Wilson doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. He is part owner of Environmental Recovery Group LLC, the group pursuing a permit for a Barton County (MO) landfill northwest of Mindenmines, Mo.

The (Monday, September 18, 2006) article follows another article, Q&A: Dennis Wilson, Environmental Recovery Group, dated Sunday, September 17, 2006, in which Pittsburg Morning Sun Staff Writer Kevin Flaherty described the interview he had with Barton County Commissioner (and part owner of Environmental Recovery Group LLC), Dennis Wilson. Commissioner Wilson said that the landfill is opposed mostly by people from outside the area, including interlopers from Joplin. Commissioner Wilson got irritated with the reported for asking questions, stating that he has been answering questions about the landfill for twelve years, citing a newspaper article in 1996. He accused the newspaper reporter of trying to bait a crowd, replying that this is not a fly-by-night deal.
