Movie Maybe Not So Good After All
 |
| I'm not surprised that local environmental
do-gooders have decided to protect Bidwell Park from cell-phone towers
by suing
the City of Chico. The "Chico Citizens for Community
Justice"
(apparently
formed due to a tower near Mariposa, but now expanding
to stop cell-towers world-wide) have brought in the out-of-town environmental
ambulance chasers "Valley
Advocates" to
save us from ourselves through litigation. While doing research on who the players are I ran across this review of the anti-cell tower movie Public Exposure: DNA, Democracy, and the "Wireless Revolution" "To our amazement and surprise the city council voted to amend the draft ordinance to reflect most of the changes we had suggested making and more. We attribute their abrupt change in perception to this well done film, "Public Exposure". Because of this film, our city council was empowered to make the right decision for our community..." -Maggie Van Dame, Chico Citizens' for Community Justice, Chico, California It seems as though the epiphany foisted upon the Chico City Council by this movie was one without duration. Maybe they should show the movie again. And throw in "Happy Feet" so we can be sure the penguins are saved as well. I guess the movie wasn't that good after all. If Mayor Holcombe watched this film I think it would be appropriate for him to write a new review for it. That way the "Orland Citizens for Community Justice" will know to skip this step and go straight to the lawyers when a cell tower is proposed near them. |
