Some “light reading” for Councilor K. Wilson and the other environmentally sensitive passenger rail lovers in our midst.



You can read the “rest of the story” here: http://www.lungchicago.org/diesel-pollution-trains/  And try to imagine what ‘more than 25 million cars’ looks like.

Interesting, isn’t it, that they’re talking about Chicago, home base of the infamous “Center for Neighborhood Technoloby (CNT)”, about whom we’ve recently posted.  They’re one of NNEPRA’s go to shops for getting the answers they want, wrapped up in tissue paper with the words ‘professional experts’ stamped on it.

One of the reports linked to in the above item contains this passage in it’s Executive Summary:

                                      

This is exactly the circumstances that have been related to the adoring rail foamers for some years here in Brunswick.  It’s comforting, isn’t it, that the Federal Government is adept at exempting itself from the regulations it imposes on everyone else with the power of law.  I guess that’s why ‘we’re from the Government, and we’re here to help you” is such a timeless favorite.

You can read this second item here: http://www.edf.org/sites/default/files/5736_SmokestacksOnRails.pdf

Not to mention their steam-rollering over local zoning regulations, which would have prevented them from building the industrial monstrosity now being erected with no basis in any aspect of rational thought.

We hope that Kathy will update her bio on the town web site to remove this passage:
Kathy Wilson was born in Brunswick and raised in the home where she now lives and works.
We’re sure that she, like all the other councilors, is totally committed to honesty and integrity in her relationship to all of us.

And we hope that reading the items referenced above doesn’t make her think about moving again.  Since she’s at large, she can move anywhere within town limits and retain her spot as an up-and-comer in the ruling class.




With a strong, strong devotion to doing what’s right for the environment.  Along Maine’s coast.
