Has her buddy Susan Bryant and her buddy Pat McLean actually gotten through to her? Have those two former dynamic duo impressed upon Sandy the hell that is going to come down on Woolwich Township and mayor if there isn't a major change in position regarding the downstream Canagagigue Creek? Lanxess and the Ministry of Environment need to at least throw TAG and the Township a bone regarding some downstream cleanup of the Creek . Maybe an outside agency has commented privately to the guilty parties that come on at least give the public something for their efforts pursuing cleanup in and around Elmira.
I personally have noticed a change in attitude locally. Both newer and older Elmira residents are asking questions. Our population is skyrocketing. Where are we going to get the water necessary for a Region which is earmarked for major population growth? Does Lake Erie water sound appetizing to you? Their green/blue algae outbreaks are an annual event. Our longer term residents who have been involved as stakeholders are also getting restless. These individuals whom I would refer to as moderates are saying and writing some shocking things about Lanxess Canada and their supporters. Things that they would not have said so bluntly even a couple of years back.
Reform of our local grotesque public consultation process is underway. When it's starting from such an odious, undemocratic and anti public consultation position it's hard to believe that it won't be an improvement. The only question is how much. The scheduled Public Awareness Event for February 21/24 will also shine a light on the past goings on here that purportedly were in the public interest. Whatever or whomever I see some possibilities coming up. Are they a mirage or is that clean water that I see down the road?
