The Town Board has GIVEN UP!

And now they are hiding behind the fiction of a test well being drilled as a reason to do nothing. But just what will this test well prove or solve. The idea for drilling it is to see if the water down deeper is free of nitrates. So what! This does nothing to solve the problem of high nitrates in the water now and even if the deep water proves nitrate free it will only be a matter of time before it too becomes contaminated with nitrates if nothing is done. And doing nothing has been the hallmark of this Town Board for over a year. The only solution to the nitrates in our water is to stop the source and that is the farmers who are dumping excessive liquid manure on the fields. If they were any other business we would run them out of town but because they are "farmers" they somehow have the right to pollute the water and air. They should be ashamed of themselves for doing this to their neighbors, either by their actions or worse, their inaction in stopping other farmers who are the actual guilty parties. But it is our Town Board who have failed all of us by their inaction and burying their heads in the sand ignoring the problem. They deserve all of our scorn!
