Cc: [see below]Since I know of no public email address for the VLCIA board, I’m asking Brad Lofton to distribute this to the board before their meeting tomorrow.
Dear Board,
This is an update to my previous question to you, which was published in the Valdosta Daily Times, 20 Dec 2010, available online here:
http://lake.typepad.com/on-the-lake-front/2010/12/whats-the-industrial-authoritys-plan.html
I’m sending this letter directly to you, and also publishing it online,
http://lake.typepad.com/on-the-lake-front/2010/12/what-is-your-plan.html
What is the Industrial Authority’s plan to bring in real clean jobs?
Your staff have claimed that Wiregrass Power LLC’s tiny solar plant plus their biomass plant will make us a “center of innovation excellence for renewable and sustainable energy in Georgia.” Is that all?
If so, let me make a few suggestions.
Students growing local food on the roof at VSU?
A local chef cooking it for fresh student meals?
LAKE had to see this, so Bobbi Anne Hancock showed us where
Blazer Gardens will be, on top of the Hugh C. Bailey Science Center.
Greenhouse A will have squash, peppers, and tomatoes, and already has some citrus growing in it; jsq gets a taste:
It all starts with composting. Bobbi and Erin Hurley of SAVE help raise awareness about clean local foods.
Bobbi and Jim Parker discuss how it’s good for you and tastes good, too! Continue reading
The
“Fiery Roots U.S.A. project” says:
Collective Progression’s mission is to engage individuals and grassroots organizations in order to document social and environmental justice struggles and solutions. We will be providing live and online trainings, resources, and networking opportunities that empower people to effect positive change in their communities.Hm, well, except for the specific focus, that’s pretty much what LAKE does.

Subject: Re: Tuesday’s MeetingDear Chairman Paulk and Commissioners.
I again would like to extend my invitation as President of WACE to the upcoming event this Thursday (see attachment).
The issue of the proposed biomass incinerator is far from over and concerned citizens of Lowndes County and Valdosta will use their constitutional rights to (respectfully) speak up at future meetings, as they have done in the past.

Subject: Re: VDT EditorialHowdy,
Tiny LAKE is flattered to be asked to repost VDT materials for mighty VLCIA! But to answer your question, this is a blog, not a newspaper, nor a wire service for a newspaper. LAKE also hasn’t posted all of the letters to the editor of the VDT pro and con on this subject or others of interest to us.
More basically, you seem to continue to confuse “VLCIA answered” with “the answers satisfied the questioners” or “the answers actually addressed the content of the questions” or “nobody is questioning anymore”.
Questions continued to be asked at the VLCIA “Forum” of 6 Dec 2010. I ask again:
From: “blofton@industrialauthority.com” <blofton@industrialauthority.com>,Lofton copied the same people I did: Continue reading

Subject: RE: Videos from First Presbyterian Church, 6 Jan 2011Thank you for providing the video from Thursday. I will proudly share it with everyone. It was a great night, and I was pleased with the very large amount of support in the room. You may also want to consult with the local Mortgage Broker’s Assocation. I spoke for them last week as well, and they are enthusiastic supporters.
Have a nice weekend,
BLSent from my Verizon Wireless Phone

You can
hear him say he hopes I record it.
This is what VLCIA considers “proof”: reciting a list of “authorities”
without addressing the specific criticisms or directly debating critics.
He still hasn’t produced
the citations to scientific literature
he’s been repeatedly asked for regarding health care,
nor has he produced the wood sourcing study.
You can hear Lofton recite much the same laundry list in Continue reading
