Questions for Anderson Mayor Kris Ockomon - March 2009

Are there any new, larger companie in the works for coming to Anderson?

If they are doing the youth fishing tournament this year?

Why does he not return phone calls? You would think a month would be long enough to return a call or calls.

Did you try calling back? Sometimes takes them a while to get back with me about something, but they usually do...

Well yes, I have given all the benefit of the doubt.

What did they say when you called the second time asking about the no call back?

They would give him the message.  I also saw him in the parking lot of city hall and he said he would call me. I have had several other people including some city employees say he soes not return calls.

Since Anderson's water comes from the White River which is fed by Killbuck Creek, what is the Mayor doing to ensure that the Mallard Lake landfill doesn't get approved?  According to IDEM, any toxic waste dumped at the Mallard Lake site which gets through the liner (they all eventually fail according to the EPA) and into the acquifier(?) or runs off the property and into Killbuck can pose a serious health threat to our water supply.  I haven't heard about anything the City is doing to defeat the dump.  I'd like to know what the mayor is doing to prevent this.

Thanks, Colts Fan, I'll be sure to bring it up.

Thanks for the other questions as well. Keep them coming.

Hey CF I heard an executive say that they never listen to voicemails, that if you really want to talk to them, you need to be persistent and keep calling back again and again, until you finally reach the person. No this was not from our mayor, and I do not agree with this theory.
