CORTLAND – Cortland Township residents will gather today to vote on whether to pursue legal action in an attempt to stop the landfill expansion planned by Waste Management.

At 7 p.m. today at the Cortland Township offices, 14 S. Prairie St., all registered voters in Cortland Township are invited to vote on whether there should be a tax levy to cover an estimated $60,000 in legal costs to seek an injunction against Waste Management.

Opponents of the landfill expansion hope a judge will provide a favorable interpretation of a statute that could give townships authority to control garbage disposal within its own boundaries.
