A warning that the Legislature’s refusal to continue a little fee could create a health hazard in Missouri comes from the man in charge of waste tire cleanup for the Natural Resources Department.

He says his crews will go full bore until lack of money stops them. Since last November first, DNR has pinpointed 93 previously-unrecorded illegal tire dumps.
