Speaker 1: Fifty five KRSD Talk Station, a very happy Wednesday too
Speaker 1: or Thursday lost to day elections next Tuesday, I know that,
Speaker 1: And welcome to the fifty five KARSSEE Morning show. Local
Speaker 1: activist Carrie Davis with what we like to Coke jokingly
Speaker 1: refer to Carrie on the fifty five KRSSE Morning Show
Speaker 1: as a Shenanigans declaration. So I'm calling what you're doing
Speaker 1: a Shenanigans declaration over Denise Treehouse and apparently her relationship,
Speaker 1: which you call in a question with Rumky. Just let
Speaker 1: you know. I Carrie, nothing against what you're saying here,
Speaker 1: and I want you to let my listener know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. But I got a lot of I mean,
Speaker 1: I love Rumky because they take my garbage away. And
Speaker 1: without Rumky or someone taking garbage away, I can't imagine
Speaker 1: what the world would look like. I've seen New York
Speaker 1: when the garbage collectors go on strike. So we need
Speaker 1: to manage and deal with our way. So Rumky is
Speaker 1: always the bill that I'm happy to pay. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they don't need to run their business properly, which
Speaker 1: leads us over to what I'm calling your Shenanigan's declaration.
Speaker 1: So enlighten my listeners on what you have uncovered.
Speaker 3: Okay, so can you hear me? All right?
Speaker 4: Bottom clear Kerry, alrighty.
Speaker 3: So you really can't blame Rumky for running their business
Speaker 3: the best way they can.
Speaker 4: That's not the problem.
Speaker 3: The problem is when you have a corrupt politician who's
Speaker 3: willing to sell out residents and not.
Speaker 4: Do her job.
Speaker 3: And so I think Rumki did their job. I don't
Speaker 3: like it, but that's their job. Denise accepted about eight
Speaker 3: thousand dollars in donations from Rumky and Rumky's lawyer, and
Speaker 3: it was within months of her settling a lawsuit behind
Speaker 3: closed doors where Rumky challenged rules to be implemented in
Speaker 3: Hamilton County and these rules not have rules, and Denise
Speaker 3: gutting the rules that were provided to her by Sierra Club,
Speaker 3: Legal Women, Voters, Oxpo, Rivers, Unlimited, Cardinal Land Conservancy. All
Speaker 3: these organizations put together a fair and reasonable rule for
Speaker 3: Runky to operate their facilities with less pollution and less
Speaker 3: negative impact on neighborhoods. And Denise took that rule and
Speaker 3: went in private quarters and negotiated and gutted the rule completely.
Speaker 3: And because of that, for example, we are the trash
Speaker 3: capital of the United States of America. We are the
Speaker 3: only county in the vicinity that he has no rules
Speaker 3: to protect residents East Palestine.
Speaker 4: All the toxic.
Speaker 3: Waste Denise Palestine was dumped in Hamilton County.
Speaker 4: When Claremont County.
Speaker 3: Sued and cleaned up the hands of this waste site,
Speaker 3: all that waste was taken to Hamilton County and dumped
Speaker 3: in our backyard. So we are getting the trash and
Speaker 3: all the worst of the trash from all over the
Speaker 3: region because Denise tree House took eight thousand dollars and
Speaker 3: her campaign fund and gutted the rules that protected residents.
Speaker 1: Okay, but the order of things, I think as you
Speaker 1: initially stated that the rule that you presented are these
Speaker 1: groups presented to her was gutted and other rules went
Speaker 1: into place, and then the campaign contribution was received. Is
Speaker 1: that how that worked? Rather the money showed up first,
Speaker 1: then the rule was changed.
Speaker 3: Correct, Which is interesting because the United States Supreme Court
Speaker 3: did made a ruling earlier this year talking about how
Speaker 3: it's not a quid pro quo unless the money is
Speaker 3: paid after the action is taken. And that's exactly what
Speaker 3: happened here.
Speaker 1: Okay, sore Is this sounds to me like something in
Speaker 1: Algis that the city council went through with the PG
Speaker 1: sitting fald kind of thing, sort of you wash my hand,
Speaker 1: I'll wash yours. You give me some campaign money and
Speaker 1: I'll be happy to try to get your project through.
Speaker 1: Is that Is that the kind of the relationship you're suggesting.
Speaker 4: No, this is far worse.
Speaker 3: This was far worse in my opinion, because this went
Speaker 3: through a process over the course of two years where everybody,
Speaker 3: everybody but Denise and Rumkie wanted.
Speaker 4: These rules implemented.
Speaker 3: Remember, in nineteen eighty the federal government gave every county
Speaker 3: the authority to have rules to regulate land sills in
Speaker 3: a safe manner. Hamilton County is the only one who
Speaker 3: never passed any rules. Now, part of this was because
Speaker 3: Rumki was on the committee that oversees Rumki in the county.
Speaker 3: Since nineteen eighty we had eight people on our committee
Speaker 3: when the law said you can only have seven. The
Speaker 3: eighth member was Bill Rumky himself. So the first thing
Speaker 3: I did in my research.
Speaker 4: Project was I told him, you either resign.
Speaker 3: From this seat or I'm going to take you to court.
Speaker 4: And make you resign.
Speaker 3: And they resigned, and Denise was defending them. Then later
Speaker 3: on we found out the other person on the committee
Speaker 3: is a paid consultant of Rumky.
Speaker 4: So the guy Rumky paid.
Speaker 3: Tony Depuccio to help them with special projects was sitting
Speaker 3: on the committee that makes the rules for landfills and
Speaker 3: had a direct conflict of interest. Now, what Denise did
Speaker 3: you was canned three other members of the committee who
Speaker 3: voted for the rules. Tony Depuccio was against them, and
Speaker 3: Denise was against them, but she kept Tony Depuccio wanted
Speaker 3: to keep Rumky and canned three other people who voted
Speaker 3: for the rules, but it still went forward, was approved
Speaker 3: by the commissioners, and it was really weird.
Speaker 4: U Joe Dieters.
Speaker 3: He took a lot of money from him too. John
Speaker 3: Cranley took twenty five thousand when he was in office
Speaker 3: and then removed a woman named Sue Mangus from the
Speaker 3: committee who had voted for these rules, for us to
Speaker 3: have rules for the first time in county history when
Speaker 3: everybody else has had him for decades.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not discounting. You're trying to connect the dots
Speaker 1: on that. There may certainly be Shenanigan's question though your group,
Speaker 1: you're these activists, whoever the folks are they mentioned? Did
Speaker 1: the dom greater Sin Sin community groups? Is here a
Speaker 1: club all the ones you mentioned? You proposed these rules,
Speaker 1: But isn't that like I guess I if I had
Speaker 1: any knowledge about, you know, managing landfills, I personally could
Speaker 1: have proposed something. What obligation did this committee have to
Speaker 1: adopt what you were proposing as opposed to something else.
Speaker 3: It went through a process where it was proposed, it
Speaker 3: was tweaked, it was worked on, and then they went
Speaker 3: to a vote, and when the majority votes to approve it,
Speaker 3: then the next step is it goes to the county commissioners.
Speaker 3: It went to the county commissioners and they voted and
Speaker 3: a majority voted to pay as it. Then Rumkie filed
Speaker 3: a really bogus lawsuit to try to stop the rules,
Speaker 3: and that's when Denise went into the back room and
Speaker 3: got it and took out all the protections for residents
Speaker 3: in order to I feel, did a campaign contribution and
Speaker 3: to make friends with people she overseas now.
Speaker 1: Is there any open meeting obligations going back to I'm
Speaker 1: trying to draw this parallel with the City of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: just because it sounds comparable in anyways. But you remember
Speaker 1: the Greg Landsman Gang of five kind of stuff. They
Speaker 1: were having these independent, off record meetings and violation of
Speaker 1: the open meetings rules and were held accountable for that.
Speaker 1: Is there something that Denise treet House may have violated
Speaker 1: by way of similar rules? Because I don't know what
Speaker 1: rules apply to the commissioner's activities behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that she.
Speaker 3: I don't know that she violated a rule on negotiations
Speaker 3: because he was in a lawsuit. There are special rules,
Speaker 3: you know about secrecy you're allowed to have. But what
Speaker 3: Denise did was the Solid Waste Policy Committee, which is
Speaker 3: a county wide committee established by law, and they're the
Speaker 3: ones who actually proposed the rule.
Speaker 4: And passed it. They hired their own legal council.
Speaker 3: To shepherd their law through their rules through. Denise Treehouse
Speaker 3: refused to tell them anything about what was going on
Speaker 3: when the lawsuit was to stop the Solid Waste Committee
Speaker 3: from implementing rules and enforcing them. So there's a video
Speaker 3: I have. I went to every single meeting and online
Speaker 3: there's a video where that Sue Magnus, who represented the
Speaker 3: City of Cincinnati, is begging Denise to please just give
Speaker 3: her a copy of the legal opinion, and Denise refused
Speaker 3: to give her the legal copy. The administrator refused to
Speaker 3: even give the committee member serving the county a copy
Speaker 3: of a legal opinion that allowed her to gut these rules.
Speaker 1: Well, Carrie, never was produced, all right that I like transparency.
Speaker 1: That sounds like they're lacking transparency, So I support your
Speaker 1: efforts to get documents that are related to this, Carrie Davis.
Speaker 1: I guess this isn't the end of it, and we
Speaker 1: may be speaking more to the extent you find out more,
Speaker 1: and I guess as legal developments may happen. But I
Speaker 1: appreciate your joining the morning show and explaining what's going
Speaker 1: on in your perception of this, and transparency is always
Speaker 1: the default way to go in my mind. So Carrie,
Speaker 1: good luck with your efforts and we'll, I guess find
Speaker 1: out down the road how this thing shakes out. It's
Speaker 1: been good having you on the program.
Speaker 4: Happy Halloween to you, all right, Thank you, sugar pie.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Seven to fifty two fifty five krusty toxic.
