Anderson Clean Air Council weighs funding panel budget
The Anderson Clean Air Council accepted director Jack Hoenstine's resignation effective March 10 and debated using local funding to keep the department operating. With federal funds cut, a sizable increase in pollution permit fees is proposed to meet a 1978 budget of about 50,000 dollars. The plan would raise permits from five to fifteen dollars to eighty for two years, and create monitoring and financial subcommittees with state reporting.
