MORE ON WOOLWICH OBSERVER'S TAKE ON CHEMTURA / M.O.E.

I now have a link to yesterday's Woolwich Observer story. Besides their front page story they also had quite a neat Editorial which I enjoyed greatly. The Observer in the past have indicated that they are not enamoured with Chemtura and their alleged cleanup due to the glacial pace exhibited over the last twenty-five years. Essentially for example a weekly headline could be "Elmira Aquifers one week closer to drinking water. Only fifty years left to go". Nevertheless they have in their Editorial given a brief synopsis of the last four years and how to date the M.O.E. simply are not responding appropriately to informed and appointed members of the public (CPAC). They and Chemtura have simply been playing to the general public's uninformed assumptions that something/anything is happeneing.

The MTE Consultants Report should be handed out this coming week. It too is but one more railroad spike in the Chemtura/M.O.E. balloon. Interestingly it deals with leakage off the east and south-east sides of Chemtura's property. Look for your favourite chemical company to be making some bizarre moves soon. The M.O.E. are also desperate as witnessed by the spectacle of a barely retired M.O.E. Director (west central region) lashing out at a respected within CPAC & SWAT citizen (moi). You know as soon as I found out that Bill Bardswick was the Director of the west central region I realized how hard up the M.O.E. really are for talent.
