OmniSource - Our Fearless Leaders In Hiding?


Where was Dr. John "Smoking Ban" Crawford (R)? Where was Dr. Tom (I know more then you) Hayhurst (D)? Where was Tim "Harrison Square Cheerleader" Pape (D), Where was Sam "I am looking out for my children" Talarico, Jr.(R)? Where was Mayor Graham "Sign Police Chief" Richard (D)? I know where they where and have not been!

This past Friday, about 4:30 P.M. a chemical leak was reported from OmniSource. Fort Wayne 911 dispatchers sent Fire, Police, and Medics to the scene. They responded in a professional way and even risk their own health, as they did not know what they where getting into. Much like the brave men and women in New York on 911, they where there to tend to the public, damn to their own welfare. As a citizen, I have nothing but the utmost admiration and thankfulness to each and everyone of them.

The OmniSource operations had a leak from some chlorine containing tanks, they claimed they had no idea how they got on their property. Chlorine in higher concentration levels is a deadly gas. Even in reduced quantities it can cause permanent damage to the organs. Chlorine gas seeks to lay in the lowest ground levels around it and mixes poorly with the atmosphere. To put it mildly it is bad news!

Crawford, Hayhurst, Pape, Talarico Jr. or Mayor Richard have not said a word to the public. They have not presented themselves to reassure the public this leak would be fully investigated. They have not stated they talked to the OmniSource ownership to make sure this will not happen again. They have not come out and said a thing. Their silence speaks volumes of who they are loyal too.

They claim to represent the people of Fort Wayne but they set on their hands and aren't being seen or heard from in a real time of crisis. Don't try to pass the buck, you failed at being the leaders you tell yourself when you are looking in a mirror every morning.

These elected people want the public not to question their motives, reasoning, or understanding of Southtown Centre, Harrison Square and North River projects. What little credibility some of you may have had slowly drifted away Friday night with the chlorine gas.

Thank goodness Richard, Hayhurst, and Talarico Jr. are leaving office. Now if only Crawford and Pape can be voted out. Then the public may get some leadership that represents ALL THE PEOPLE!

Maybe OmniSource will be the dumping site for some large ammonia tanks that are partially filled. They may get ripped open by OmniSource workers. Maybe the fumes will kill some of their people. Maybe it will kill some fire fighters. Maybe it will kill some medics. Maybe it will kill some police officers. Maybe it will kill some citizens driving by. Maybe it will kill some residents setting in their yards. Then, just maybe, you so called leaders will speak up. I am not HOLDING MY BREATH but I may have to!!!

Don't try telling us about working behind the scenes or you where gathering the facts. The crisis is over and thank goodness THE PEOPLE have some levels of government above you, that WILL LOOK INTO IT!
