joining me now is melanie sloan, from citizens of responsibility and ethics in washington. the group that's calling for this investigation. ms. sloan, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> now, why are you calling this investigation? and let me make it clear, you have also been critical of congresswoman waters. so this is not that you have not come right down the middle in terms of the issues at hand here. >> that's right. in fact, there are very few groups who have been as critical of representative waters over the years as we have including over this very factual scenario. but that said, ms. waters was entitled to the fool and accurate investigation handled by the ethics committee in ra nonpartisan fashion. this is the one committee in congress evenly split between democrats and republicans and is supposed to act in a nonpartisan passion. here we have seen the investigation into waters is irretrievably tainted by a committee staff who were sharing information improperly, confidential information with members and staff not authorized to see it. they

i went there with melanie nutter, director of the department of the environment, and a supervisor eric mar. it was an enlightening trip. we met with folks from recology and at the landfill site, and we met with residents and elected officials. there were some concerns about environmental issues related to adjacent farms and what the impact of the set would be on an adjacent farms. but the thing i took away most from that trip was that the host fees that govern how much it costs to deposit a ton of refuse at the landfill were much lower in yuba county than the rest of california. there were $4.40 at yuba county, but much higher in other places. i think it is over $16 at the current land fill site in livermore. there was some tension from elected officials in the yuba county to possibly raise those fees. how those increases would affect local ratepayers -- i felt that was a risk, a potential risk that it would increase the cost locally, and whether the bid that could be approved today was the right bid that would later in flight what the costs were to the city and to the ratepayers. -- i
