MORE LOCAL MEDIA ON THE SWEETHEART DEAL

Firstly bless Woolwich Township's good fortune in having not one but two local newspapers. Last week the Woolwich Observer opened things with their article, albeit a little off the mark, about the October 7, 1991 Settlement Agreement aka "sweetheart deal". This week it is the Elmira Independent with this headline: "Discussion on "sweetheart" deal to wait". The Independent are reporting my presentation to Woolwich Council back on March 6/12. As indicated Mayor Cowan stated that he felt Council wasn't the right time or place for that discussion. Really? Might have been a tad embarassing for the Mayor, for his Council to publicly learn that he was witholding significant game changing information from them regarding the alleged "cleanup" at Chemtura. Regardless the good news is that again the public have been advised that the next public CPAC meeting is scheduled for March 29/12, 6 pm. in the Council Chambers. Our Mayor has promised that this agreement/deal will be on the Agenda for discussion. As the last three public CPAC meetings have all been cancelled, let's actually see this one go forward as promised.
