Cache County – The Cache County Democratic Party is teaming up with Democrats on the Logan City Council and Logan City School Board, demanding that the all-Republican Cache County Council start fixing the plague of horrible air pollution. “The Worst Air In The Nation.” That’s the new ranking of the air quality in Logan City. The air is currently so thick with smog that over 60% of local residents are now susceptible to the effects, including children and seniors.
“To think that our beautiful county is being bogged down in this much pollution is horrible,” says Cache County Democratic Chair Vincent Wickwar. “Our children aren’t even being let outside for recess at school. The Republicans are arguing for their special interests and pushing to keep the status-quo. Our special interests are the children, the students and the citizens of Cache County.”
Democrats on the Logan City Council are demanding that the all-Republican Cache County Council take immediate action. “We have to do something now,” says Logan City Council Chairman Herm Olsen (D).
“There are any number of smart, efficient programs which they can put in place,” continued Wickwar. “At the very least, we can begin using the emissions-testing program that has already been implemented in Salt Lake and Davis Counties.”
