http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article...EWS02/611240424 Wayne County NEWS IN A MINUTE: Wayne County November 24, 2006 WESTLAND: $1 million to go to school The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is giving the former Cooper Elementary School property a $1-million Clean Michigan Initiative grant to help its redevelopment. Two years ago, Livonia Public Schools received $2.4 million to rehabilitate the Westland property, which was closed in 1991 out of concern that the former landfill site was contaminated. "Since it was discovered that initial estimates for clean-up costs were low, we have been working very diligently to secure this additional state funding for the project," said state Sen. Laura Toy, R-Livonia, in a news release. "This award from the DEQ will ensure that there are no more delays in redeveloping the Cooper site," Toy said. |

Beware the rhetoric, PR, and spin that will be coming out again regarding how this is going to be done "when school is not in session", and how "everything that can be done to minimize the possible exposure to the students" will be done In all reality, they lied last time about this, and had to back off that lie once the additional requirements to remove the toxic material were imposed by the state. The truth is....they will do the bare minimum as required by law ( which is not enough when you are talking about the exposure levels for small children ) and do it when they damn well please....regardless if school is in session or not. |
