On Monday, 2/9, on the back page of the Post's Local & Business section, was a full page ad by the Ironhorse Property Owners Association who oppose trash from outside Palm Beach County being burned in the county's new incinerator.
Joe Capozzi of the Post wrote this on Tuesday, the following day, about the ad:
Opponents of a plan by Palm Beach County to accept imported trash took out a full page ad Monday in The Palm Beach Post.I went back and found the ad; here is the part of the full-page ad Mr. Capozzi refers to:
“Toxic capitalism hurts my family,” says one part of the ad next to a little girl wearing a gas mask and holding a doll.
The ad — paid for by the Ironhorse Property Owners Association — lists the emails of the seven Palm Beach County commissioners, who also sit as the Solid Waste Authority’s governing board.
We'll see how the county commissioners vote but I don't see how an image such as this helps their cause very much; it just may have the opposite effect. Ironhorse is a high-end community, built around a golf course, in the northwest part of West Palm Beach.
