MAYOR SHANTZ SPEAKS CRAP

Following is an e-mail sent to CPAC and half the known universe last Thursday.




Hello Dr. Dan and CPAC

Just to bring you up to
date on a meeting I had with Nancy Matthews and then with
Mili New and Tracy Bowman (who is replacing Steve Martindale
who is retiring).


Mili and Terry are looking
forward to meeting with all the parties on April 9 and share
my hope for a CPAC with participation from a broader
community base which could potentially include any or all
groups who are attending. We didn’t
get into a lot of technical detail, but talked in
generalities about timing of reports and tests and the
importance of sharing data in a timely fashion. We
also talked specifically about the concerns around the east
side and the depth of the testing as an
example of where we need to work together better to ensure
the testing is adequate to us as well as MOECC and
Chemtura.


I appreciate the work CPAC
is doing and hope that we can provide a format so that your
focus can be more on the environment, good information and
direction and less on process and issues around
cooperation.


I look forward to your
input on April 9 as we address roadblocks to working
together; roadblocks to reaching our goals; and solutions
moving forward. The agencies and committees who are
being represented, along with Chemtura, are anxious
to move forward and to help craft a better model.


Thanks
Sandy


My objections are as follows:

1st & 2nd paragraphs "...looking forward to meeting with all the parties...". Not going to happen. CPAC won't be there.
"...hope for a CPAC with participation from a broader community base which could potentially include any or all groups who are attending.". CPAC's October 29, 2013 Council approved and endorsed Terms of Reference spell out membership eligibility, Application process etc..

"Steve Martindale who is retiring.". Really and the M.O.E. were so stupid they didn't send anybody to the last several meetings to get at least a little up to speed opportunity for the new person. Almost like they simply don't give a crap!


3rd paragraph My patience is really getting stretched here. Sandy states "...hope we can provide a format so that your focus can be more on the environment, good information and direction and less on process and issues around cooperation." That's it, I've snapped! Flock Off Sandy! Whose fault but yours is it that CPAC has had to focus on process this last five months. How dare you blame CPAC for your disgusting and stupid behaviour.

4th paragraph Maybe some will be present for your stated purpose. Most such as Chemtura and the M.O.E. are there "...to help craft..." a diluted, ineffective model.

All in all a pile of steaming hot bullshit of the most condescending, false and deceptive kind. Shameful.
