Is Cascade Cancer Central? Does City Council Even Try to Protect Us?

Using the article that I had published in Free Inquiry, a national magazine a week ago, I asked the council to consider an ordinance I wrote curtailing the ability of the businesses (White Front) and farmers from spraying us with toxins from the air. City Administrator Lisa Kotter said she had contacted the city attorney that the law will not allow us to create a bubble around the town. She also said I could complain to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Iowa Department of Ag. 

To buttress my contention that the courts are beginning to draw the connection between Parkinson's, cancer, Alzheimer's, etc. and toxins in the environment, I used the research I had done on Round-Up, whose parent company was forced to pay $280 million to DeWayne Johnson for damages saying the courts are beginning to award money for the cancer and other illnesses.

Both Delaney and Megan Oliphant challenged my research, which was, of course, done correctly.  So, Tuesday morning I had the U Iowa Law Library get the complete legal citations both for the Southern District Court Chief Justice’s opinion that journalists’ rights are being illegally curtailed by Iowa’s “Ag Gag” laws. There are now actually 3 of these cases.

Incidentally, I used some hearsay evidence as well. Nothing wrong with saying I have heard people call Cascade “Cancer Central” because that is certainly true, and I relayed a tale of a doctor saying to a Cascade cancer patient, "Well, what do you expect? You live in Cascade!

I also wonder if this is how the City Council would treat Greg McDermott if he showed up to make a request? Would Mr. Delaney think he could disrespect any other city resident published in a magazine with a French physicist, and a couple university profs? Should we support his business, when he doesn't respect the achievements of fellow citizens?
