Rubino and McCormick had refused to do an environmental impact study. The community is entitled to this study as it impacts their quality of life on the East side and as doctors noted "their health". No one believes the developers/investors will stick to burning tires as money is the object here. They would not burn a single tire if the concern were for the community/families. The question is will the City of Erie protect its citizens' health and welfare.

As if the City of Erie had the citizens best interest in mind. Why has the biodiesel fuel plant (subsidised by us) continue to ship almost 3,000,000 gallons of their product to Europe and not one drop here? Where's the outrage over that? No entity can say say why.

Oh, BTW, I don't recall hearing people Bitc$ing about Hammermill's smoke and stench when they went to the bank to cash their paycheck?

If the Tire-to-Energy plant is purely about environmental impact(not the general resistance to any new business that will pay a living wage), why has there been no call to shut down Erie Coke Corp? Here we have two companies, one is looking to employ area residents and use a otherwise useless piece of property and has received much trouble for their efforts and another with history of environmental harm and 6.1 million dollars in fines to prove it. Business doesn't need Erie - Erie needs Business, and should welcome it, not hinder it. Businesses are out there, we should let them in.

This is the reason that Erie is 50 years behind the times.The people in this town will not let any new busines start up here.then keep asking where all the youth are leaving and can't figure out why.no new business means no new jobs and no tax money.Atleast try it then if it don't pas EPA then they will shut it down.

the Erie county Medical Association are a group of doctors who take an oath unlike the developers who are not accountable. It is the people who take advantage of loopholes in our written laws, such as calling burning tires-a renewable energy source- and using our great resources for their greedy profit. All at the expense of a low income community and lack of responsible representation on Council.
