Too bad the Star Tribune writer fails to mention Wabash National filthy environmental violations track record.
And here is my letter to the editor Brainerd Dispatch on Wabash National environmental track record, published today 4-25-17
They are not afraid to publish the truth.
Too bad Brainerd Dispatch is not the official city/county newspaper for Little Falls and Morrison County.
Your local elected officials, city staff, entire medical community(PROMPTED BY LOCAL CONTRACTED WORKMANS COMPENSATION DOCTOR PHILIP PROSAPIO AND HIS WIFE SUZY PROSAPIO(OWNER OF SHOPPES OF LITTLE FALLS), local business owners(including Tom Scherling), Doug Dahlberg a member of the ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE (also an employee of Pine Country Bank), your Chamber of Commerce(and it's president Steve Andres of Radio Shack) and County officials have publicly supported Wabash National. Somebody needs to sound the alarm bell!!! This is what your MAYOR should have done. Mayor Greg Zylka should have instructed Jon Radermacher, the city administrator, to forward the environmental disputes information that was in the Wabash National public packet, to the Energy and Environmental Committee to research and get their recommendation, BEFORE the 400k MIF grant was proposed, and BEFORE $500,000.00 of local tax forgiveness was given to Wabash National. Why wasn't this done? People besides myself should be asking this question of their taxpayer funded, highly paid city staff AND all your local elected officials. Why didn't any of them do this research? Why didn't the local city/county welfare subsidized paper, the Morrison County Record, investigate any of this and then publish their findings?

Wabash National is part of numerous Superfund sites....Amelia, Louisiana and West Sacramento, California, and another one in Arizona. If this doesn't raise RED FLAGS, I don't know what will.
Besides the military toxins from Camp Ripley that are spewed everywhere 24/7, this is the other big concern for this entire area. Why aren't others raising their voices?
The more I researched, the sicker I got.
Property values along the river and in town would plummet, businesses in the historic downtown would likely all be negatively impacted if a serious environmental violation was committed in this quaint little river town.
