09/02/2005: "SCAPCA "unfair""

Says the Spokesman Review. Quoting:


"It's important for public health that asbestos is handled properly. It causes cancer in humans. Our goal is to keep as much asbestos out of the air as possible," said SCAPCA Director Eric Skelton.

"If it's such a toxic site, why has it sat here for four years?" countered Lee.

Why, indeed.

"That was an abuse of power," Gore said. "This site had been sitting open for four years."

Skelton said he was trying to break the impasse.

"I felt he (Gore) was just going to let it sit indefinitely," Skelton said. After the contractors said the timeline was unrealistic, Skelton said he agreed to a delay of final cleanup until Oct. 15.

I see, so Eric-the-alien Skelton decided to levy a $10,000 per day fine in order to "break the impasse". Not because someone had done wrong, or released asbestos into the atmosphere (that had happened four years ago during the fire) but, lets face it kids, because SCAPCA is trying to raise funds for itself, and once there were *new owners*, Skelton, using his until-now unchecked powers, moved in to extract tribute, like the kinds of old.

I think a public accounting of SCAPCA's finances is in-order. SCAPCA used to publish their budget and the minutes from their board meetings online. That stopped, without any explaination.

They are still a public agency, no?
