We love hearing and reading about TLA-Holbrook's attorney William Merrigan and his bold accusations. According to Mr. Merrigan, the civic group is using outright lies to get people to sign our petition. Mr. Merrigan, you should listen to your truth bending. Here's an excerpt from a recent Holbrook Sun: "Merrigan said that HELP’s facility would be 'actually taking trucks off the road' because the trash is to be hauled out on railcars.
'“Unlike Braintree or Randolph, Holbrook is not situated on a main highway,”' he said. '“So, yes, that means trucks needing to access Holbrook have to use roads that run through Randolph and Braintree, but what the opposition fails to point out is that by using the existing rail service to transport baled waste out in covered rail cars per day, we’re actually taking trucks off the road. Waste by rail is greener and more efficient than trucking out.”'

What Mr. Merrigan fails to point out is truck traffic heading to the facility and then leaving the facility will be an increase over the current traffic conditions. In addition, people will have to endure additional rail traffic generated by the site.
