"IF contamination is evidenced by inspection and lab testing, it must be assigned to the correct owner. If correct owner unavailable, untraceable or unknow, cleanup falls to annexing party unless specified in terms etc. So how old are the derm reports on each plot? How far back is proof of ownership and or contamination responsibility? I dont believe anything is free...so the truth is in the details and we are missing a bunch of them! Vote no annexation without full disclosure." Well, Gym, it appears that one of our citizens has taken you up on your invitation! Cleanup falls to annexing party sounds suspiciously like it could be US! More light is shed on this important facet of annexation along with a recommendation to vote NO until the details are made known to the public. On another topic, why is Dotson the only one who is expected to do due diligence! It is the duty and responsibility of the Mayor and each Council member to perform due diligence in the course of their duties! While its true that Dotson is usually the only one who is prepared, pays attention, or asks pertinent questions, ALL the Councilmembers SHOULD do it! The fact that they DONT do it is just another reason why change is needed. Dr. Mel P. Johnson
