[Winona Online Democracy] Keith are you saying not charging the CC for hook-up is in part payment for the easement? If that is the case, you may want to state that correctly to the public such as the City is paying the CC $10,000 for the easement, rather than there will be no charge for the hookup. It comes across very differently to the public.
Believe me it is all in perception, such as the statement you made regarding the Pinnacle report with regard to fecal material found in the waters in Pleasant Valley. Due to assertions made, the public believes it was found in the stream area in Spring Brook. I have had several people ask me about it. Now, I realize you did not say it was Spring Brook, but your next comment about it being necessary to hurry and get the utilities out there, led the public to believe you were talking Spring Brook. The article also led people to believe due to your input that it is seeping septic systems, though it sounds by the Pinnacle report that no source or confirmation was made. Have you driven out to Pleasant valley and noticed the cows and elk in the stream? I also know there is a large group of teen age boys who hang out in the woods and use the stream on a regular basis and do what most teenagers do to relieve themselves, espcially if a stream is near by. No Conspiracy. I never called it a conspiracy this is your perception. I think it is just plain misleading the public, for what ever agendas you may have or perhaps it is just very very poor irresponsible communication. It could be as simple as that. Either way it is all in the perception of the public. It divides this community, it infuriates the Pleasant Valley residents and it especially gets the Spring Brook residents upset because you are indirectly calling us irresponsible. Do you wonder why people take pot shots at you? Think about it. You don't have an agenda? Why would you allow an article such as this in the paper. There have been studies done for years that show far more contamination than this, and there are no articles written. No agenda, come on!
