An electronic copy will be available online as the news conference ends.  The White Paper effort started in January 2021, and with the assistance of a water geologist, it was documented and written by many people. It has already been distributed to the Columbus Water Department for comments 2 months ago, and so far we have not received any response. We also took copies to the 4 other water departments in our watershed, including Westerville, Delco, Delaware City and Cardington, which faced a water disaster from oil drilling in the 1960's. We have given copies to Columbus Mayor Ginther and Columbus City Council.  We have taken copies to the leadership of all 19 cities and towns that rely on Columbus City water.

Protest

Salon facilitator, Free Press Board member Mark Stansbery, kicked off the salon, engineered by Steve Caruso. He reiterated how it is now Pride Month and there is the usual Stonewall Pride parade next Saturday, June 17. The Community Pride alternative celebration is scheduled for September.

Watch the salon video here.

Mark spoke a bit about he and his wife Yoshie’s trip to Japan last month, to visit relatives and participate in G7 Summit protests and rallies. One message is the opposition to US involvement in the Ukraine situation, which caused a discussion among the people present. Yoshie gave a presentation on her perspective of the events in Japan and showed some photos and images. The Free Press recently posted an article about peace in Ukraine.

Europe keeps reminding us that geopolitical interests trump ideology.

European politics is the prime example of how states and political parties are willing to ditch their very ideological foundations to hold onto power, even if briefly.

The unmistakable political shift of attitude in Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her Fratelli d’Italia party is the latest evidence that European politicians use ideology merely as a vehicle. Once in power, they are governed by the same neoliberal policies that control the rest of Europe.

This assertion applies equally to the Right and the Left.
