Drink Up, Chattanooga

  • Wednesday, October 17, 2018

I attended the meeting to discuss the placement of the sewage treatment plant at the Cambridge Center in Ooltewah today. My problem with the meeting (aka) dog and pony show, is that the meeting started out with the agenda of the Ooltewah Community Council.  After living in this area for 45+ years I have never heard of this group. 

I would like for someone to answer the following questions and educate me on the following:  1.  Who elected this group? 2.  What is their salary?  3.  Who pays this salary?  4.  A list of the names that serve on this group.  This will help me with a little trivia.

I hate to tell the citizens of our area that I am not sure we can do anything about this situation.  There are a lot of politics involved and the deal is probably already done. I hope not. This plant, regardless of where it is placed in our area, will dump 10 million gallons of "treated sewage" per day into Lake Chickamauga. 

Drink up, Chattanooga.  Lets band together and help stop this if we can.

It's a shame we have so many gun battles in certain parts of the city. An outside could come in, look at a map with the number of gun incidents and quickly formulate that most of inside Chattanooga ... more
