THANK YOU WOOLWICH TOWNSHIP - GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS



First of all I received hard copies, as promised, this morning of the Final Creek Investigation Report and of the Conceptual Site Model (CSM) at the Township offices. That is the good news. This included two reports plus a USB stick in the back of one of them. The bad news is that there are supposed to be approximately 3,000 pages in grand total and I'm sure the two hard copy reports might cover, including maps and tables, maybe three to five hundred pages at best. Wow! Therefore between the USB stick and the Zip files I received earlier by e-mail I guess there's still a couple of thousand pages plus that I'm supposed to read on my computer. My nearly seventy year old eyes might be able to handle thousands of pages of hard copy but one I like to put maps and figures side by side to compare information and two, staring at a computer screen, unpaid for hours or days at a time isn't happening.

Oh there's more bad news. The discussion about these two reports is this Monday April 1/19 at the 5 pm. TAG meeting in council chambers. Perhaps there's some significance to that date (April Fool's). The other bad news is that how many exactly of the people present do you think will read these entire 3,000 pages whether hard copy or on their computer? The last bad news of course is that if one is not a friend of the alleged mayor and hence appointed to TAG then you don't get to either make comments or ask questions even if you've read the whole damn thing. There are other issues as well but these are adequate to mention at the moment.
