Supreme Court Ruling on Waste

[asagady@sojourn.com]

  The U.S. Supreme Court has let stand a ruling against
  the State of New Jersey that is adverse to solid waste 
  planning efforts as a restraint on interstate commerce.
  
  See today's New York Times article at:
  
  http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/nj-trash-monopoly.html
  
  This does not bode well for efforts in Michigan and 
  other states to prevent the landfilling of out-of-state
  waste and the ensure the enforceability of state
  solid waste planning.
  
  Folks will remember U.S. Supreme Court consideration
  of another case involving NY waste coming to the 
  Kettlewell Landfill near Port Huron.
