Controversy Over Commission Spending and West Texas Waste Fight
The review of commission expenses drew ethical concerns though indictments were not issued. Planning officials banned alcohol entertainment spending. In Alpine, 1996 hearings spotlighted the fight over a low level radioactive waste dump with El Paso Juarez and several Texas counties opposing it. Proponents include the Texas Low Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Authority and two nuclear utilities. An evidentiary hearing is planned to aid TNRCC in deciding the site’s fate. Other regional notes cover Andrews County waste plans, major local incidents, storms and public works projects.
