Re: “Public asked for sewage plant sites,” April 28.
Once again, our local politicians are going to get “public input” on the location of a sewage plant or two.
But these folks have never stood up for us, the local taxpayers, by asking for public input on the seminal question: Do we want land-based sewage treatment?
Scientists have clearly said such a system isn’t needed; our current ocean-based disposal works fine. All the local politicians can say in defence of wasting all this money is that the province made us do it.
Well, if the province wants it, let the province build it. We elect mayors and councillors to look after our local interests. They should do their job.
