I am delighted that a biodiesel plant will be located in Iredell County. In my opinion, developing alternative fuels is admirable, though I'd rather solar energy be our brag.
However I believe the majority of Iredell taxpayers would rather the proposed biodiesel plant be set up in one of the many empty industrial sites around the county rather than in a residential and farming community.
It's too bad voters can't decide in a special referendum.
I urge the citizenry to speak up. I bet the "powers that be" on the county commission can be encouraged to overturn their decision.
Taxpayers should ask ourselves, "Whose fault is it that taxpayer money is going to lawyers regarding the biodiesel plant issue? Is it the homeowners trying to protect their community or is it the elected officials who made a big ol' boo-boo?"
