Dear Lo - oops, I mean "Darla"

Where are you getting those figures? I talked with many "SLC Supporters" at the public hearings, trying to understand their point of view and offer them some of the factual information I had gathered, and the overwhelming majority of them were either direct employees (many of whom were feted with free hot dogs and bussed en masse to the hearings at SLC expense) or "indirect employees" - employees of sub-contractors who worked regularly for SLC-Cementon and expected to continue to work for SLC if the Greenport Proposal had been allowed to go foreward.

There was also a contingent of members of various unions who had been promised jobs with companies that would be building the proposed plant, if it were built - in other words "prospective indirect employees."

Then, there was TomGeneTim and a few others who were willing to "work for" SLC for peanuts - or should I say hot dogs - some of whom ended up on the indirect SLC payroll when it was funding the "HVEEC."

We can go back, if you will, and examine the signatures on the "petition" circulated by SLC in support of their proposal, and you will see, as I already have, that a huge proportion of them were SLC employees or prospective employees - direct and indirect - and their families, friends and neighbors. Those are the facts.

If there is any ignorance on display here. It is yours. You make bogus claims from behind the cover of anonymity, and you expect your statements and opinions to be taken seriously?

Please feel free not to come back, with my express blessing. Anonymous trolls who post mis-information are not something we need here.
