Un-explained Illnesses Spreading Through Our Community

Searching for answers to the cause of the mysterious sickness affecting our community.
It has come to our attention that many families in our community are suffering from similar illnesses: seizures, learning problems, and hyperactivity. Some citizens in our community have shared concerns with the city council and others have expressed their concerns with the local health department. In researching these unusual events we have learned that a company in our local community is practicing unsafe chemical disposal, which is the cause of these unexplained illnesses. In an effort to correct this dilemma, we have researched for facts, and found this company negligent of its decision to build on recorded disposal sites.
We reach out to all citizens of our community and stand together to express our concerns to the developers, city council and environmental health department that what has evolved is unacceptable. In review of our findings, we have to make a decision about what action should be taken to best solve this problem. We will adhere to the readers to decide what reasonable action measures should be taken and proceed accordingly.
Strategies we would apply when investigation the problem: generating the necessary public pressure to bring attention to the site so that the company can begin the clean-up process; demanding that they perform “off-site” testing; alerting the public of the high levels of toxic contamination and making the toxic site a public issue.
