Open burning issue will smoulder in Plains until it comes up for a vote &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In response to Colleen Apanovich's, letter on open burning in Plains
Township &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Jan. 22), I think two points need to madeMy first point is: What is more
economical to my family and many others in the township? A $5 permit or $100
or more in garbage bags that are going to a landfill, only to turn up
thousands of years from now? Besides, don't we pay enough to the township,
state, federal governments? I know I do. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 I work for a living and opting for a permit that saves $95 makes sense to
me. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Second: As a Democrat, I believe in the democratic way. The democratic way
to approach this issue and quiet both sides would be to add the question to
the ballot and let township residents vote for or against open burning. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 This is the only fair way to finally address this matter and put it to
rest. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 I'm tired of hearing all the whining and crying about this issue. Let the
majority rule. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
