Dear Editor,
Contrary to the Kelly Greene letter you published (“Loo forgets who voted,” Letters, Sept. 23), I think Ms. Loo and some others on council are doing their job.
The location of the VAFFC tank farm is set; the battle to see it stopped or relocated is lost.
It appears to me that Ms. Loo has accepted that reality and is ready to get on with the new priority of ensuring it is as safe as possible.
This likely means battling, again, with VAFFC for on-site staffing, immediate response, comprehensive environmental clean-up plans and/or contribution to a new fire hall close to the area.
While it may irk Greene that Loo is no longer speaking out against the jet fuel tank farm location, citizens are not well-served by council members who refuse to accept reality and thereby fail to do their duty to ensure the best possible outcome for Richmond voters.
