State to Assist In Effort
POSTED: 10:36 am EDT September 21, 2005
CLEVELAND -- People around downtown Cleveland have been asking, "What stinks?"
The city thinks it knows, but it's asking for help from state officials.
The Cleveland Division of Air Quality has received dozens of complaints this year about a strong odor coming from the industrial part of the Flats.
Air pollution inspectors traced the smell to General Environmental Management and asked the waste treatment plant to fix the problem. The company says it put in a deodorizing mist system and has drawn up a nuisance abatement plan, but Clevelanders are still holding their noses.
The city has now asked the state attorney general's office to get involved.
General Environmental's president says he and his employees don't notice any odor.
Style Weekly: "the politics of fear and a growing racial divide still cripple Richmond [Virginia]." Mayor Douglas Wilder: "a cesspool of corruption and inefficiency." Ninth most dangerous city in the US. The state claims that "Virginia is for lovers" but the General Assembly passed a law "which some contend is the most anti-gay legislation in the country." (Style Weekly) And don't get me started on Henhicko County, Native American for "land of the hicks." Now at www.richmondsucks.com.

About Me
- Chris Martin
- "...the quintessential everyman, he's a little bit of everything that we're all striving for... mostly the search for the truth in our lives. From poignant notions of love to our own inescapable lascivious tendencies, from mundane to the outlandish, on that journey we face tough questions, but even tougher decisions. He'll take you on his journey and back, he won't promise you enlightenment (who can?), but you can at least be assured of a good time. Thanks..." - boyzco
