A Mt. Carmel woman wants the city council to crack down what she said was illegal burning at local businesses. Linda Lowery appeared at Monday night’s city council meeting and read a prepared statement outlining the dangers of burning cardboard and other materials that she said is polluting the local air. Lowery targeted a west-side business in particular saying they were the worst offender, and nothing was being done to stop the burning…
Mayor Joe Judge told Lowery he had been in contact with the Illinois EPA and was waiting on word from them to clarify what businesses are legally allowed to burn and in what type of container.
