Linda Compora's Selfish Childish Behaviour
From a Reader
Linda does not see that calling the police takes away time from other, more deserving police matters. She is considered to have done the same frequently when IKO was operating. Every time she called the police, they had to come and take a report from her.
This just shows that she is only concerned with matters which affect herself directly. Hopefully she will not do what she claimed she would do in her Toledo Blade interview--fight over any issue brought up by the new council. She needs to become a team player and do what is right for all of the City of Monroe.
I hope that doesn't mean we will have one councilperson on the outside looking in and trying to fight about every issue, simply because the election didn't go her way. Only time will tell, but from the signage, she may have already made up her mind, no matter how narrow minded that decision is. As for the property values, I don't believe that anyone would be interested in moving into a neighborhood with skull and crossbones in every yard.
The City will be sure that IKO will adhere to the regulations set forth by the DEQ as well as wastewater regulations, so I believe that the signs need to come down in order for property values and the ability to buy and sell homes in the surrounding neighborhoods remain where they should be.

Dear Readers,
This site started out as a footnote on the site www.smithassoc.com to provide a place to post photos of our local engineering works including the overlooked Fermi-I. This it is an engineer's view of Monroe. The 1969 photos of river ice are used by the watershed council for reference and the USGS in a training product for measurement of stream flows under broken ice.
The web keeper's involvement in the study of the history of technology and industrial archeology comes to light when people obviously do not understand process industries such as Holcim, IKO, Detroit Edison, and others.
Another serious shortfall is a serious lack of knowledge of the US Constitution as amend, various public acts including the open meetings act. Property rights must be respected including the reasonable use of one’s property and the same consideration extended to others.
The commercial site www.smithassoc.com tried to portray Monroe as a good place to live, worship, and manufacture your products. Conveying this perception broke down in a hurry when a forest of signs went up protesting a plant that made the very same type of shingles that most people use on their homes. For this and other reasons the site www.historicmonroe.org was formed and the information moved from my commercial site.
Likewise it is hard to explain why persons must chain themselves to the Custer Statue to protest Detroit Edison power generation activities. To deal with this problem, the police needed to maintain a set of bolt cutters to remove them when needed.
