THE MEDIA WEIGHS IN
First of all apologies for the silence since yesterday but Blogger (Blogspot) which is owned by Google has had substantial technical difficulties since yesterday. This resulted in the temporary loss of yesterday’s postings as well as everyone’s ability to log into their blog/websites.

Hallelujah but both local newspapers are on the same page. Both papers attended Tuesday night’s Council meeting and heard me speak to Council about the interminable delays ongoing since last year. They also heard about the fact that the Mayor and one Councillor have absolutely been blocking the clearly expressed will of CPAC. Therefore Council (less Al Poffenroth) in their infinite wisdom, led by Mayor Cowan, former CPAC Chair Councillor Herteis and past, present and future pseudo environmentalist Councillor Bauman gave me the boot. Both local Editors heard the facts, saw the evidence and correctly concluded that this new Council have also chosen to shoot the messenger rather than address the problem which is Mayor Cowan. The title of the Elmira Independent story is “Council removes Marshall from CPAC” and the story from the Woolwich Observer is titled “On the outside looking in..again”. Councillor Poffenroth, your fellow Council members make fun of your folksy charm but they are the ones who have brought discredit to themselves and to Woolwich Township.
