I really didn’t think the former mayor of my old town had a snowball’s chance in hell of stopping the guy who was removing the hill behind her house.
Guess what? She pulled it off!
She filed complaints to the state Department of Environmental Protection and the County Soil Conservation District — and they must have done something, because today the site has been cleaned up.
She’s running for mayor again, I hope she wins.
She persisted.
And resisted.
If the world can be saved, it will be women like her who’ll do it.
The site has been cleaned up, but was the hill restored and stabilized?
I don’t think so. It’s possible they ordered them to do so.
