From the Email Inbox: AES NOT on AGENDA AGAIN

Dear Gramps:

School Board Opinion. Against adding "ANY Possible Risk" to the health and safety of Students.

AES Statement: Represents no "Significant" risk.

It may not be significant if the Children of our School and community get sick. It may not be "Significant" to AES if the Residents of the area are all ready marginalized by the current air quality conditions, and that an additional pollution source may be for some the tipping point.

It should be Significant to the City Council Members, and IN PARTICULAR THE MAYOR who Pretends to have the Children and Students of our Community as being a primary interest, having been a School Principal.


More from the Email InBox:

The mayor was woefully mistaken about making comments before the Preliminary Document of Compliance. The council should have been giving input a long time ago, and the input that they say that they will make may just be too late. The mayor, in my opinion if pro AES. Furthermore, having been a principal, she should know that student safety is first. Yes, money from AES convolutes the issues. Mayor was then supported by Bea Cortez’s side comment I agree with that…..

Would the Council Step up and simply Direct the City Manager to PUT AES on the AGENDA so that the Mayor’s comments can be intelligently rebutted? NO… we are not afforded the Freedom to have a full and open discussion on AES because It is not getting on the Agenda.

With out explanation or further detail as to why there should be concern. Would some Council Member say: I want AES on the NEXT City Council Agenda, with the intent to Pass a Resolution Infavor of or in Opposition to the Building or Reactivation of a Power Generation Facility in that location. Unless it is a PV or Solar Power Facility with NO increase in Air or Water Pollution or use of carbon based fules. No need to thank any one, or dress it up or down, just get it on the agenda..

It is Time the City Council and City Manager and City Mayor stop playing Chicken with the Citizens and AES. Isn't it clear enought AES will stop funding GT Days and the Historical Committee or what ever other donations they are making as soon as the City Council says No Thank You to the Power Plant. Is our Collective health the price we pay for GT Days, and some other activities? I HOPE NOT.

Stop the delay tactics, and miss information Ms Mayor. Put it AES on the Agenda and Put in your Input. The City Planning Office already has provided AES with documents on file with CEC why not the City Council and Mayor?
