STILL WAITING: FINAL DATE FOR CPAC/COUNCIL MEETING GETTING CLOSER?

 Well it sounds as if we are down to two possible early evening meetings. When it is this difficult to simply schedule a meeting then I must say that my optimism wanes that any real discussion or progress will be made. In other words why would I even remotely think that Woolwich Council as a whole sincerely want a meeting of the minds? If they did they would already have fixed what they fuc*$# up eight years ago. Lest we forget but at the time councillor Patrick Merlihan referred to the public consultation plan of Sandy and Mark as "cringeworthy" exactly due to the preponderance of bureaucrats and politicians versus of citizens.

There is overwhelming evidence of the damage and failures that have flowed from Sandy and Mark's actions eight years ago. These are public interest failures and they will most likely continue with or without CPAC's attendance at a so called review of the Terms of Reference of RAC and TAG. If CPAC were speaking to some group in authority who did not have a long history of cooperation and capitulation to the demands of the dirty polluter, then I would have some hope of improvement. 

Seven years ago under the Chairmanship of Dr. Richard Jackson, TAG discussed whether a technical advisory committee was beneficial or not. They considered that a group focusing on public policy might do better as the MOE/MECP did not respond to technical cases being presented for their action.                    (TAG Minutes October 13, 2016) page 6
