“Chiquita Canyon landfill: Tax relief could be coming to impacted residents”

LOS ANGELES - Rep. Mike Garcia, who is running for California's 27th Congressional District, introduced a bill that would provide tax relief for residents impacted by the Chiquita Canyon landfill. 

The 27th district covers the Santa Clarita Valley, where the toxic landfill is located. According to Garcia, the Chiquita Canyon Tax Relief Act is aimed at protecting the residents of Val Verde, Castaic, and Valencia from "being unfairly taxed on the financial assistance and compensation they receive due to the ongoing Chiquita Canyon landfill crisis".
