I once wrote about G.E. with their slogan that I loved. It said “At General Electric Progress is our most important product.” Now G.E. is in the headlines again!

As a citizen of S.C. for 32 years, I know I’ve got the right to speak about our lands, water and air when it’s being threatened. This giant corporation called MRR wants to bring garbage to S.C. from the whole east coast for 35 years or until the dump is full. Some citizens don’t realize how this hurts us as people of S.C.
