The owner of a metal shredding business barred from operating on the Southeast Side says it has “smoking gun” evidence it hopes will help overturn a city decision made last year to deny the company a permit based on pollution and health concerns.
Ald. Susan Sadlowski Garza provided previously unreleased internal city communications to the business owner that show the city was preparing to issue a draft permit to Southside Recycling in April 2021, lawyers for the scrap metal operation said this week.
