New Hearing Set for Andrews Waste Vote
By: Jackie Smith
Updated: January 2, 2011
Earlier this week an Austin Judge halted plans that could allow Texas to pour radioactive waste from dozens of states into Andrews County.
The organization's Public Citizen and Texas Civil Liberties project filed a restraining order against the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Commission to stop the rule from being voted on. That was signed, but Big 2 news is learning that a hearing has been scheduled for Monday to look at it again. Tomorrow both sides will make their cases again, and the restraining order will either continue or expire. If the order is no more, the commission can vote on the proposal in their January 4th meeting.
