CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Opponents of a plan to dispose of toxic waste at a landfill above a central Illinois aquifer are urging more members of the public to join their fight.

According to The (Champaign) News-Gazette, opponents at a meeting Saturday in Champaign suggested a boycott of the company that owns the Clinton Landfill. They also encouraged people to call Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and ask him to pull the landfill’s permits.
