<p>It's too bad that Mayor Holman's sense of wanting to talk more about issues doesn't include the issue of lead in the water. As more streets in the Fourth Ward get tore up to put in new water lines we find a whole lot of severely rusted galvanized pipes consistent with plumbing during the time period where lead gooseneck connectors were used. The contractors have been mostly diligent with getting the lead out of the ground discretely, cutting them and separating them from the other pipes,…</p>

As more streets in the Fourth Ward get tore up to put in new water lines we find a whole lot of severely rusted galvanized pipes consistent with plumbing during the time period where lead gooseneck connectors were used. The contractors have been mostly diligent with getting the lead out of the ground discretely, cutting them and separating them from the other pipes, but my eyes and cameras have seen a lot more lead being mined and replaced.</p>
<p>Replacement is a great thing, but one of the things that distresses me is that too much of the older parts of the city are likely to still have goosenecks when all of this current upgrading gets done, and I hate seeing my fellow citizens use their city water in confidence when they are ignorant of these three foot gooseneck pipes pointing directly at their home, ready to zap the next generation with their poison.</p> It's the lead talking Aquaman…tag:ludingtoncitizen.ning.com,2017-05-13:4689834:Comment:3449442017-05-13T00:36:22.192ZWillyhttps://ludingtoncitizen.ning.com/profile/willy
<p>It's the lead talking Aquaman. Instead of settling only in her brain, much of it has migrated to her tongue which causes an incessant blabbering of nonsense and unwanted ideas.</p>

<p>Now, here goes Mayor Holman again, at the 39:09 minute mark. Well, she wants to discuss charging entry fees again at Stearns Park. The issues had been tabled at the April 5 mtg., with almost all in attendance not wanting it. Only about a month later now, and she wants to get it aboard for motions and votes on the matter. Shameful, and disgusting all the way around. Of course Shyster Shay had to correct her, and include other camoflage of other ideas and issues to include with that. But, as…</p>
<p>Now, here goes Mayor Holman again, at the 39:09 minute mark. Well, she wants to discuss charging entry fees again at Stearns Park. The issues had been tabled at the April 5 mtg., with almost all in attendance not wanting it. Only about a month later now, and she wants to get it aboard for motions and votes on the matter. Shameful, and disgusting all the way around. Of course Shyster Shay had to correct her, and include other camoflage of other ideas and issues to include with that. But, as Holman stated here, "it's our city and we need to talk more about this and get it settled", paraphrasing. She just doesn't get it, and I also heard noise in the background of people sighing and booing lightly. Wth, I could have expected this much later in toward the end of the year, but right now again? Also, another great job X, you got their attention on the lead goose-neck and tainted tap water, surprised Holman took any challenge, but what about ALL the others that declined? Something in that water isn't right, and they all know it too, and just ignore it now. Very STUPID and DANGEROUS.</p>
