Huge. After a house bill keeping new landfills further from cities resulted in two days of filibusters in the Senate, Mayor Lucas is stepping in with a proposed bill to ban landfill requests for a year. He wants any discussion of a landfill to be regional.
I spoke today to Senate Leadership and the Kansas City delegation regarding a proposed landfill in our city.
Any landfill discussion needs to be regional. As a result, I will put forward a bill next week to ban the approval of any requests to build a landfill within Kansas City
