Why would who want Robbie to not attend a public meeting
concerning not reopening the White Street Landfill,
an issue Mr. Perkins advocates for keeping closed?

The second generation receives it clearof the debts and incumbrances of the first,

I asked Perkins about this. He said, he doesn't need anyone to tell him not to go to a meeting.
He said he and Holliday met to talk over the history of the landfill stuff. Perkins said he already had plans to attend a Northeast Concerned Citizens meeting later in the week, so he saw no need to attend Monday's meeting.
