Jim Callaghan: Self - Former Editor, Staten Island Eagle

Quotes 

• Jim Callaghan - Former Editor, Staten Island Eagle : When you look at a place like Staten Island, it was viewed as a dumping ground for all kinds of things, the Fresh Kills landfill, that took everybody's garbage, 8 million people's garbage, dumped in Staten Island, the Farm Colony was a place where people went who had tuberculosis. Willowbrook warehoused thousands of people and left them there, that it was a dumping ground. Why would you dump them in Staten Island? That's where you dump things, so you dump kids, what's the difference? You're dumping garbage, you're dumping kids, to Staten Island it doesn't make any difference, right?
