Hundreds of people packed a town hall in Murray County on Thursday night to speak out against a proposed bio-waste facility. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene turned out in support of her constituents in one of her first district appearances since announcing her resignation from Congress. 

Greene and over 300 of her constituents said they are opposed to the construction of a proposed bio-waste digester  in Northwest Georgia’s Murray County. 

Vanguard, the company that will own the plant, sent representatives to the town hall Thursday to answer residents' questions.

Greene told the representatives that the company is out of touch with resident needs. 

“While you lecture these people with your pathetic little slideshows about digesters and methane gas, the people sitting behind me, they own cattle, they grow their own food," Greene said. "They don't need your damn jobs because you want to know something? They've already got jobs."

At the end of the event, Murray County's sole commissioner, Noah Bishop, ultimately decided to put the development of the plant on hold. Bishop's predecessor initially approved the plan, but Bishop said he won't reaffirm the plans to the Environmental Protection Agency.
