“Whitesides First Bill, Chiquita Canyon Payments Tax Relief”

“U.S. Rep. George Whitesides (D-Agua Dulce) introduced his first bill in the 119th Congress on Tuesday, Feb. 11, to provide tax relief for residents in his district impacted by the Chiquita Canyon landfill.

Chiquita Canyon Landfill, which has been repeatedly cited and warned for polluting the air, water and land in nearby neighborhoods, provides financial relief for residents affected by the toxic pollutants. The Chiquita Canyon Tax Relief Act would ensure that residents in Val Verde, Castaic and the Santa Clarita Valley are not unfairly taxed on the much-needed assistance they receive.”
