AG Mum on
Investigation
 On
Feb. 26, 2001, the Office of the Arizona Attorney General was presented
with compelling evidence that the UA concealed a test confirming Page-Trowbridge
is leaking to groundwater.
A month-and-a-half
later, Kevin Mann, AG investigator, responded to citizen requests
for a report on the status of the investigation.
Mann
stated that the AG's office was investigating the matter, but would make
no other comment.

ADEQ: The
Watchdog That Won't Bark
The AG,
Steve Holland and Nancy Turner aren't the only ones trying to play dumb
regarding the cover-up of a test confirming that Page-Trowbridge is leaking
to groundwater.
Not
only does the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality refuse to inform
local residents of the status of the investigation into the cover-up, ADEQ
won't even acknowledge that they received several requests to do so.
ADEQ
was initially informed of the cover-up on November 7, 2000. Some
30 days and many excuses later, ADEQ finally found the time to meet with
residents.
On
December 8. 2000 , ADEQ was presented with evidence that the UA and/or
Turner Laboratories willfully falsified a report to ADEQ.
As
of today, the watchdog still hasn't barked, nor even had the courtesy to
explain why.

More Questions Than Answers
Explanations of the cover-up
seldom survive even causual scrutiny and always seem to raise more questions
than they answer.
