****************************************************************************
The CJUSD School Board took an action against the AES POWER PLANT. It exercised its duty in issuing a statement against the construction of the AES Power Plant across the street from the planned High School #3.
The CJUSD has done something the City Council of Grand Terrace has not had the COURAGE to address. OH dare we forget it is City Manager Tom Schwab who will not put the issue on the Agenda for the Council to Officially Proclaim their Support or Non Support for the construction of a Power Plant across the street from the planned High School.
Recall AES "Supported" GT Days.... It that the price for non action by the City Council?
We saw what direction the wind blows with the Plastics Fire... Limited roads in and out of a campus, a Rail Road Line, and a Power Plant and A High School... It is time to ask High School or Power Plant.
From the Email InBox:
Many times contributors to this site have challenged the other Blog to look at documentation or to disprove documented information, which he criticized, instead of his attitude of the City can do no wrong.(Wife's employer) His lack of research of the AES plant and the School Boards decision not to support it, is the same we have seen from the inception of his personal opinion column. Opinion that is based on nothing more than opinion and never backed by documented facts. His website serves no useful public good. It is the echo chamber of Mr. Schwab's office. He should also apologize to the Grand Terrace City News. Unlike him, they check to see if there is documentation before they print a story. He should try it sometime. It all comes down to credibility. He has proven over and over he possesses nary a shred, even if you know his name.
From Gramps: He has apologized by writing a second post on the subject. The first post defaming Grand Terrace City News and Roxanne Williams has been removed.
