It should be a universal truth that Whitewater and Wisconsin deserve a far higher standard of diligence and review than whatever our CDA chairman believes his “gut” tells him would be good for our city and nearby area.
In fact, that kind of intestinally-based level of judgment has failed this city time and again, and is beneath the level of care that any well-organized, reasonable American city deserves.
You’ll see another example of this sort of serial mediocrity in a breathless story at Whitewater’s news site that a recycling company, unable to get a permit to mix toxic substances into (supposedly safe) floor tile, was denied (so far) permitting in Wisconsin. The company now insists it will build in Arkansas.
A company known only to a few, develops an industrial process that the State of Wisconsin won’t even certify, apparently created at a third-tier school far away, using ingredients known to be toxic, with grand financial claims that have no independent verification whatever, and one is supposed to accept it all at face (or stomach) value.
To accept these contentions would require a child-like credulity unsuited to normal men and women. It’s as though any bad idea, however silly or dangerous, should fly into one’s ear, and from ear to brain to keyboard to ordinance.
It’s just another simple-minded attempt to prey on a city’s legitimate economic concerns to stampede acceptance of whatever ill-considered proposal a few unelected men shove forward, including proposals to give themselves additional authority.
Add a logo at the top of the story, I suppose, and suddenly all the necessary and legitimate questions of safety, value, cost, accountability, etc., just melt away.
They don’t, and they won’t.
un-fricking-believable!!! do these guys ever do any homework? keep at this!!!
I will
