Dumping on the South: 'Poop train' from NYC stinking up Alabama town
PARRISH, Ala. — A stinking trainload of human waste from New York City is stranded in a tiny Alabama town, spreading a stench like a giant backed-up toilet — and the "poop train" is just the latest example of the South being used as a dumping ground for other states' waste.
In Parrish, Alabama, population 982, the sludge-hauling train cars have sat idle near the little league ball fields for more than two months, Mayor Heather Hall said. The smell is unbearable, especially around dusk after the atmosphere has become heated, she said.
"Oh my goodness, it's just a nightmare here," she said. "It smells like rotting corpses, or carcasses. It smells like death."
All kinds of waste have been dumped in Georgia, Alabama and other Southern states in recent years, including toxic coal ash from power plants around the nation. In South Carolina, a plan to store radioactive nuclear waste in a rural area prompted complaints that the state was being turned into a nuclear dump.

to keep their taxes nice and low. However, since it costs money to run the government, for schools schools, to pave roads, to provide law enforcement etc. the money has to come from somewhere. Their Republican lawmakers keep coming up with these great ideas for revenue streams; Yankee garbage, Yankee shit, anything the Yankees don't want in their own backyards. 
Of course very few Southerners know about this "sweet deal" until something out of the ordinary happens. But every time they take a breath of that ripe Yankee sewage they can say to themselves, "low taxes, low taxes", while their State becomes one big toxic waste site.
