Well it 's at least as bad as it appears. Mayor Sandy and all Lanxess's friends have yet again made changes trying to get ahead of their ongoing environmental failures. Officially last night at the TAG meeting, polluter apologist Nathan Cadeau showed his true colours. He is indeed a piece of work and I predict that his sliminess and worse will make him mayor material down the road. TRAC is the new name for a merging of RAC and TAG both of which have been useless in advancing the public interest over the last 8 1/2 years. Oh and by the way Sebastian's damning two paragraph written comments regarding TAG were also formally submitted to TAG and as they do best were totally ignored. Zero discussion. This is what Sandy and other corrupt politicians call public consultation. It is reprehensible.
We will not have our drinking water aquifers restored to drinking water standards by 2028, the belated, alleged thirty year date after remediation started. No surprise there. When you repeatedly fail to pump and treat the volumes your own consultants tell you are necessary to achieve your goals then how do you expect to succeed? Secondly at this point in time another deadline has passed as Lanxess were supposed to have an answer from their U.S. corporate masters by now as to whether financing is available to remediate at least a couple of the downstream "hotspots" in the Canagagigue Creek.
Perhaps we should start a contest to rename TRAC. I kind of favour "Totally Rotten and Corrupt" although "Teach Residents About Corruption" has a nice ring to it. Also "Teaching Rot And Corruption" also has some merit. Well done Sandy and fellow travellors.
