The huge reservoir stretches across four states. The reason the state didn't select Andrews originally was because of the aquifer. Much of the waste that would be disposed at a Texas dump would be shipped from Maine and Vermont. Boren and his contemporaries say the Northern states are simply bowing to pressure to get rid of the waste and the liability that goes along with storing it. Walker complains that the dump opponents don't even live in Andrews.
People hear know that it can be safe and it's good business.
A high school principal has censored a student editorial approved by a former Pecos High School teacher which opposed the waving of the Confederate flag at football games. The editorial apparently took an unpopular stance at a school where the football team is known as the Rebels, and the newspaper in which it would have appeared is called the Dixie Dispatch. The principal said he killed the editorial to avoid disrupting the school. Adam Martinez, a junior at Lee High School, said waving the flag at his school's football games irritated him, so he wrote an editorial for his journalism class. The editor of the school newspaper, senior Emily Baker, and Martinez's teacher, John Briggs, approved the editorial.
