California | Appeals and Writs
Legal Question
Is there an Appeal for this?
The City of Ridgecrest was recently
fined by the California Integrated
Waste Management Board for
$47,580 for non-compliance with a
State statute which requires that
cities recycle 50 percent of waste
generated as well as maintain a
recycling plan. The City has been
wronged in this matter. Is there a
Grand Jury that has jurisdiction
here? We feel that this is a
political/economic shakedown and
that the Board has greviously over-
reached. Our County Grand Jury
lacks jurisdiction here. What do we
do when a State Board acts
indiscriminately and maliciously? We
cannot afford a legal appeal and are
threatened by a million dollar fine if
we delay or complain? This isolated
High Desert community is an island
of ''red'' in an ocean of ''blue''. Any
advice? I am not a City official.
