RAC & TAG LIKELY TO CONTINUE

Well the question is why wouldn't they? Lanxess and the MOE/MECP are happy and if nothing else Sandy and this council have made it clear that their happiness comes first. Heaven forbid that they should be inconvenienced or upset by strident citizen activists demanding the truth from them. The very good news is that Pat and Susan just like the last three years plus are not in charge of either RAC or TAG and acting as proxies for Lanxess. Sure RAC who have but only moral suasion really can't insist on anything but with the Region of Waterloo present, in name at least, along with the GRCA and Woolwich Township and the Chair of TAG, they do have the opportunity to make forceful recommendations if they wish. That is unlikely however by their very nature combined with the political nature of those bodies. It's all about backroom lobbying, negotiations and possible backstabbing. Of course the chances of public pressure are just about nil as we have a grand total of zero media present. That goes way beyond shameful especially as we supposedly have a local media presence right here in Elmira with the Woolwich Observer.

RAC, of course, stands for Remediation Advisory Committee and TAG stands for Technical Advisory Group. There have been and likely will be changes on the TAG membership. Woolwich Council and the media have both been long advised about Susan and Pat's various grotesque conflicts of interest in writing and by multiple witnesses. To date they have chosen to do nothing. To add insult to injury, Susan also is neither a Canadian citizen nor a resident of Woolwich Township. To date none of that has apparently fazed Woolwich bureaucrats or councillors. It will eventually but let's see exactly how stupid they are and for how long they will ignore the obvious conflicts of interest in having both of them on TAG. For the record conflicts of interest are not solely as defined by Woolwich Township. That said even by their feeble definition Pat and Susan are past skating on thin ice. Maybe this is all for the good and when they crash through the ice they'll take certain corrupt politicians along with them.
