Kolten Parker reports that Loving County Judge Skeet Jones has lobbied the 95 people who live in the county, many in his own family, as well as state lawmakers, to support housing radioactive material on about 400 acres in the 668-square-mile West Texas county, which would require local, state and federal legislation.
With the money that this would generate for the county, the Judge indicated that they might even be able to pay the taxpayers back, Jones told The New York Times. He said that they could build some roads. They could bring in some more water. We could have a town that is actually incorporated, have a city council, maybe even start a school... Maybe even have a Walmart...
Ex-Sheriff, Elgin R. Jones, and is the father of Skeet Jones, is opposed to the idea of storing the spent fuel from nuclear reactors.
