Contempt hearing sought in Tangipahoa landfill dispute
Tangipahoa Parish Council faces a contempt of court request filed in the Tangipahoa Parish Courthouse over alleged noncompliance with a 1997 injunction to stop dumping from outside Rural Garbage District No. 1. Attorney Joe Simpson, representing rural residents and Citizens For A Clean Tangipahoa, says the council permits only rural residents to use the landfill based on rural tax calls, while a separate dispute over who runs the landfill remains unsettled. The 1st Circuit Court of Appeal has ruled the parish council owns the landfill, but no court date has been set for the contempt proceeding.
