It's been my experience that most of the time doing that has been a waste of time because "Power" already knows the truth. They know it and they have worked hard to hide it so that they can present their self-serving version of the truth. In this case all levels of government over the last 35 years have probably known full well that it was more important to communicate the appearance of a successful cleanup than the actual reality of it. Hence why spend hundreds of millions of extra dollars when time eventually (couple of hundred years) will allow most of Uniroyal's crap to migrate downstream and down gradient. Professional lying by client driven experts was the way to go.
So why bother tonite? Well it's an acid test . Will the new councillors stand up for the truth or will they hide behind the status, position and credentials of others? Are the majority of councillors self thinkers and confident in their own decision making or do they always defer to authority and power? We will see how tonite goes and then two weeks from tonite I believe is when the formal vote takes place.
