Corradino questions

When Mr Corradino says that he does not think "environmental liability would be an issue" in annexation he bases his opinion on the misguided belief that the owners would always be liable, whether the owners are still in business or not. Defunct or bankrupt businesses are not going to pay for any cleanups, and WE could be left on the hook for remediation. Why didnt he mention THAT fact? Additionally, what are his environmental qualifications, experience, and training that would enable Mr Corradino to make that determination? Thinking there isnt an environmental problem doesnt make it so, and sounds very close to HOPING there isnt a problem, and isnt good enough in this case. Is he willing to state with certainty that there ARE no environmental pollution concerns to be concerned with? Until the County states, in writing, that THEY will be responsible for any pollution cleanups in the areas under consideration for annexation, we could easily get stuck with a significant cleanup and I couldnt vote for it until that happens.
