THINGS HEATING UP AGAIN BETWEEN THE PRETEND MAYOR AND I

Below are two very recent e-mails in Reverse Order. Also I just looked at my title above and realized that it could be misinterpreted however the content of the e-mails should make it much clearer. .................................................................................................... ............................................................................................ Sandy: First of all thanks to either Dave Brenneman or Scot McMillan for your response yesterday. My bet is that it was David. Secondly the road to hell is paved with good intentions and frankly I'm pretty skeptical about good intentions in this case. Finally I did not "raise questions", There were three rhetorical questions on the second page which provided examples of corruption to all but the intentionally obtuse. Refusing to honestly and forthrightly discuss these issues with those persons directly involved (i.e. CPAC) is why your and the Township's veracity is being questioned by myself. ............................................................................................................ Lastly your response depicting Varnicolor Chemical as being "history" is strange. 5 1/2 years ago we both attended a Risk Assessment meeting in Council Chambers in which Elmira Pump (new owners of Varnicolor site) were attempting to get a Record of Site Condition (RSC) from the MOE/MECP. Elmira Pump's consultant presented their Risk Assessment showing that shallow contamination is very mild although there were still some chemicals at depth on the site. At that point remediation was ongoing for the last twenty years and I was advised that the MOE/MECP refused the RSC and that pump & treat remediation was continuing. At this point I must expect that it is still continuing which means that 25 years of remediation have not fixed what the Ontario MOE relentlessly claimed was minor shallow contamination not affecting deeper aquifers and Elmira's drinking water. The reports and evidence I have points to that being utter bull. The MOE of course have been very difficult in providing CPAC with all Varnicolor/Elmira Pump hydrogeological reports even after being formally requested to do so by CPAC when they were the Council appointed public representatives (2011-Aug. 2015). ................................................................................................................................. Alan Marshall P.S. Running & hiding from citizen activists merely breeds greater suspicion of corruption. Refusing to provide reports relevant to the public interest (Elmira drinking aquifers) does the same. ............................................................................................ .....................................................................................................

Thank you for the Varnicolour history. ............................................................................................................ You raise questions about what is and is not corruption. The answer would be made based on a complete look at the facts, not one small piece of the picture. We can each answer the question according to our knowledge of all the data we have, but without knowing intent, corruption is a very subjective charge. ..................................................................................................................................
