Oakdale last summer. When we inquired as to what the deal was,the local business guy got all tight and said it's none of our business and he depends on the workers for business. Grew up not to far from Oakdale,seen the same disaster near my hometown which is just a few miles northwest. Friends and relatives are finally admitting these sand pits are causing health issues,but,hey,they cashed their checks from the Mining Company. Moved to town and they got theirs and screw the rest.
