Report Inappropriate Comments

If the City Council wants unbiased, impartial data about the pollution at the airport, I suggest they receive it from a neutral third-party testing company, NOT the RIAR. . The monitors being used today are "operated by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation". They have a very strong incentive to produce numbers that will save the airport millions. Not an unbiased test in my opinion.

Here's my observation. I have an office with 2 potted plants of artificial flowers outside. For twenty years those pots sat outside my East Greenwich office and stayed clean. Now those same 2 pots are outside my office in Hoxie where they became covered with soot in the first 3 months. I replaced all the flowers before Christmas and today, they're covered in soot again. (4 months) That unscientific test shows me more than any test done by the airport people.

Happy St. Patricls everyone
