I hear that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will award our community $5 million to $10 million for containment of the toxic chemicals at the old Brunswick Wood Preserving property on Perry Lane Road. It's been a federal Superfund site for a few years. They used to treat power poles out there with all kinds of hamful cancer causing chemicals like creosote, PCP, and dioxin.
Now we're getting millions of dollars to keep it contained. We're talking containment and not clean-up. Huh! I don't get it! Why not clean the mess up?
If you had an overflow in your bathroom you'd probably want to clean it up instead of just containing it. Our government obviously has a different idea. The EPA's idea would be to just contain it. That means they think you should just maybe throw a rug over the overflowed mess and keep people out for a while. At some point you could re-open the bathroom and use it, but not as a bathroom. What? Put the TV on the potty and use it as a TV stand? Come on! It's still gonna stink! Bottom line! Don't just contain it! Clean it!!!!!
