Clearly conflicts of interest are front and centre. All the above groups have been offered incentives not to be reasonable, responsive and honest in their dealings with myself and others still advocating for a proper cleanup of the downstream Canagagigue Creek, the former Uniroyal Chemical site and the Elmira Aquifers. These incentives may very well be worded as benefits to the local community that would otherwise not be forthcoming. Of course citizens and residents have never been invited to comment on this possible tradeoff. For example would you undermine your physical health in exchange for a tiny bit more financial security? Some might, some might not but none of us have been given that choice thanks to our non-transparent and non-accountable politicians.
So why do I continue? Simple. One most of them are not well informed and feel they have no need to be . Their direction and decisions have already been made for them and it's easier and safer not to rock the boat. So they need to be informed whether or not they act upon that knowledge. Secondly I'm producing documentation that in the future will condemn at least some of the worst offenders. All of them will scuttle like rats when the whole scam collapses. Whether it's slowly or with a bang they will be looking for cover and for excuses. The more written documentation and facts that they clearly have received the more difficult that will be. That is why I continue. The future (& present) need to know the truth and our elected representatives are not providing it.
