The Texas Council on Environmental Quality may be about to sign off on a scheme to allow a landfill in the Laredo area that will house TOXIC WASTE being exported by Mexico. Bonus: The landfill sits in a floodplain through which water supplies flow and its in an area where it could adversely impact a lot of poor Texans.
Take a look at this story:

A lot of people in Texas have been frustrated at what looks like Mexico exporting things like drugs to the US... adding toxic waste to the mix doesnt seem like a very substantively or politically smart plan...
The TCEQ will issue a decision on Thursday we will try to get updates.
