Contempt of Court, Contempt for Dallas: Judge Hits Shingle Mountain's Makers With Hefty Fine

For their crime of disobeying the court’s order to remove this toxic eyesore, Blue Star Recycling’s executives will be fined $1,000 a day until that awful thing they planted — behind two families’ longtime homes, alongside a Trinity River tributary, between two highways — disappears completely.
