FURTHER INPUT & CLARIFICATION REQUIRED

There are some good people trapped within a stinking process. The question of course is whether or not to agree to undemocratic or even simply stilted, awkward terms and conditions artificially produced by democratically elected (sort of), albeit self-serving politicians. These self-serving politicians are all about their support from the big shots in Woolwich Township. These politicians have always used their elected positions to assist the big corporate polluters, whether past or present, such as Safety-Kleen (Breslube) and Lanxess (Uniroyal/Crompton etc.).In return the big shots help them.

I have received two slightly differing versions of the conditions for me to participate in next Thursday's Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meeting. People involved are asking for my input which should hardly be a surprise based upon my knowledge and experience regarding all facets of the Elmira and downstream environmental problems. That said they want my input on their terms. Wow! Isn't that just so typical of what has passed for public consultation in Elmira ever since the inception of UPAC in January 1992.

Susan Rupert advised APT not to participate in this orchestrated and filled with Uniroyal supporters committee. APT members Susan Bryant and Sylvia Berg weren't going to miss this opportunity however. Sylvia shortly afterwards ran for mayor thinking that as a self-proclaimed vice-president of APT she could win. It wasn't to be and in hindsight I doubt that she would have been any worse than the litany of pathetic mayors afterwards, including our present and recent past mayors.

I can see a way to make this work but it will depend upon some minor compromise by both sides. It will also depend upon input I receive from trusted CPAC advisers Thursday evening, however in the final analysis the decision will solely be mine as I'm the one who has extremely relevant and important information that TAG are interested in. The process is corrupt, however all the participants are not and there are some good ones at TAG. Regardless of my decision whether to participate, as always I will provide all the data and evidence both to the honest and the dishonest parties.
