[Winona Online Democracy] I cannot help but repond to Mr. Perry's continuous attacks today, this one regarding Spring Brook. First, I would ask Mr. Perry what he has against the residents of Spring Brook as he seems to hold some sort of anamousity toward the banker, the businessmen, the business owner, the nurse, the teacher, the pharmacist, the doctor, the mothers, fathers, sons and daughters who live out here. We are not "Spring Brook", Mr. Perry we are people who make valued contributions to this community. We are responsible citizens and I believe anyone of my neighbors would be more than concerned if they really thought their septic was leaking into the stream that we are trying to protect out here.
These people must have done something pretty outrageous to you to be so offended by something that was written in the Daily News. I did not see the words "Spring Brook" written in the newspaper. I saw possible fecal contamination in Pleasant Valley. This is a mighty big valley. I read possibly human but not definite. Lots of cows, horses and elk out this way as well. In fact the paper was pointed in saying "the source of the contamination has not yet been determined including the location. I also read the Post article about the huge amount of contamination in other streams and springs around Winona. Not that I like this, or believe it is right, but why aren't the Gilmore Valley residents being attacked? What about the huge issues in Prairie Island? Should these people be chastised as well. The City was suppose to have the Prairie Island issue taken care of years ago. And what of the Winona Township people who were annexed to the City 10 years ago because of so called septic problems, that the city has yet to run services out to their property? Mr. Perry where did you get this informaion i.e. "tributary below Springbrook" and "highly contaminated" "human waste bacteria"? . I did not see that in the WDN. Do you have the actual report and does it say that, or is it inferred? Or do you have an inside tip from someone at the City. or do you believe rumors, jump to conclusions and then spread them through the WOD? The city is once again using their ally the WDN to spread inaccurate info that people like Mr. Perry blowup and spread as fact and unfortunately that is what the public believes. Mr. Perry may not have liked what I and others wrote prior to the annexation, but the goal was to get the public's attention. Unfortunately it didn't work and as the plan begins to play out, the opinions and facts of what we were saying are coming true. The public is paying over 40% more than what the City told them for cost to the Country Club alone, I predict this will continue all the way down HWY 17 to the Phillips property. The City based their decision to spend 4 million dollars to annex Phillips on 270 acres, only 70 of that has now been deemed developable. An expensive little deal for 70 acres. The tax payers of Winona are being duped. I will enjoy my time not being a City resident, but Mr. Perry don't chastice me for it.
