Mayor Diane Hamre would rather rather not see the dump here, either, even if it comes through default. "We have had our share of garbage," garbage," she told IWA representatives and the residents. "We have played host to the Darlington Landfill and the Hale dump. "We have the Port Granby low level nuclear waste. This is not a case of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) -- we want a break," Mayor Hamre stated. Ward Three Regional Councillor Ann Dreslinski prefaced her questions, questions, with the. statement "We don't have any coffee for you -- but we have plenty of milk and we hope to stay that way."
