Now that Nelson is involved it’s just going to drag on and on. He needs to votes to get re-elected and don’t forget, he’s for Cap N Trade and Obamacare. The two most destructive pieces of legislature ever considered. Wake up America, you’re being rail roaded.

All the arguments have been made, several times over, and at this point we are just repeating ourselves.

We know that the Dunsfords are, at best, misinformed and at worst liars.

We know that this is an effort to have folks out here hook up to city water, which is suspect at best.

We know that there are lawyers ready to sue…someone, anyone, perhaps Pratt Whitney.

We know these lawyers want to sue, and people in the Acreage will get very little of the money.

We also know, or should know, that Pratt Whitney will have their own lawyers and the case will go on for YEARS…perhaps even decades.

If the Dunsfords, and the others, were truly worried, wouldn’t they have moved by now.

We all know that this entire thing is bogus…and I am getting very tired of it.

To Acreage resident,
I hope they don’t find anything in the acreage but the fact is that this has been dragging on for too long a time. The county dragged its feet when it came to resolving this issue but were fast to take everyone’s taxes. I was at the meeting at the high school when residents were giving their personal experience with sickness in their families. It was sad. I feel that government is traditionally reactive not proactive. The state wants to bail out US Sugar with a land deal. I feel that the state and federal government should be helping these families and coming up with a utilization plan for this area. We spent a lot of money to slot Mecca Farms for a biotech institute. They could use this area to implement forms of energy like solar and wind and environmental research. It could be a state and federal green institute that brings back value to this land.

They are not going to find anything out here that is causing cancer. I don’t think there is a cancer cluster here in the acreage. The damage is done, everyones property is now worth nothing. Realtors are not bringing anyone out here and the banks will not write a mortgage for a house out here. So, if you want to move you are shit out of luck. We are all stuck here now, better enjoy it. There is nothing wrong with the water out here, I think too many people are watching too much of the Erin Brokovich movie. If there was something out here, don’t you think more people would be sick with more than just a few cases of cancer. The acreage is a nice place to be, but I didn’t want to retire here, now I’m stuck here. Thanks for all the hype before all the investigations were done.

The authorities have been dragging their feet for over a year. The county is collecting taxes on homes and property that is in my opinion not marketable because of the cancer cluster. There are many important questions that need to be answered quickly. If the water is the problem, who polluted it? Geographically How far does this pollution go? Is it Sugar industry? Is it Pratt Whitney? Were the Orange groves affected? If so does that mean people who drank orange juice from this area can develop cancer? Should there be a hardship moratorium on taxes in this area or a rebate on taxes? What provisions are being taken to take care of the victims in this area as far as health care? The Senator coming down to this meeting is a dog and pony show. It should have occurred much earlier.

To the blogger who mentioned how bad Bill Nelson looks, you are so right. In the past even though Bill is a democrap he has been a good Senator. The Obammy ministration has cooked his goose. He’s not stupid, he knows the healthcare BS is no good. He knows Obammy is destroying the democraps, I mean my God they are dropping like flys. Getting bribed so fast they can’t keep up with the promises. Getting fingers shook at ‘em my naked men in the shower to support Obammy. I woosh Nelson would
turn on voting for the ObammyCare until Obammy agreed to fund NASA and save these Florida jobs. Maybe Bill Nelson could get CharLIE Crist to call Obammy and save NASA, they are good friends!

The hateful remarks of some of you are so awful. I’ve lived in the Acreage for 15 years with my husband and 3 children. We planned to retire here. We NEVER wanted county water lines out here. We did have our well tested when it was installed…it was fine. We are fine with paying to have it tested again.

People keep saying if we’re worried about our kids we should leave. Really, how can we do that? Live under a bridge in a box somewhere? We can’t sell our house. We can’t get another mortgage if we walk away from it. Forget renting it, I don’t see anyone doing that.

Yes, it looks like we have a cancer cluster. We are taxpayers and we should be helped by the government to discover the cause and have it cleaned up, if possible. If it can’t be fixed, then we should be allowed to walk away from our properties without our credit scores being lowered.

In all these Acreage meeting pictures, there is always the plastic water bottle. Quite ironic if you believe this.
http://www.usnews.com/health/blogs/on-women/2009/3/12/plastic-water-bottles-should-you-avoid-the-disposable-kind-too
Let the feds, county, state pay to run main water lines to the Acreage. Cluster or not, damage to Acreage is done. Water hook ups will increase value of homes. If you don’t want it, don’t run a hook up to the street line run.

PBCWUD borrowed 373 million to build two lines to Scripps.Burt Aaronason does not represent the Acreage.As far as the Dunsfords and their claims I think you’ll see like balloon boy other motives drive this train.The screaming lunitics at the SHS meeting were all Dunsfords cronies.I hope the feds bring the IRS along for the ride it should be interesting.

Wow, what a bunch of angry hate mongers. You sound like a bunch of angry torch n’ pitchfork carrying loons.

The research was done. You can live in denial if that helps you sleep better, but it doesn’t change the fact that THERE IS a CANCER CLUSTER in the Acreage.

Come on brainiacs, look it up. The Department of Health said it themselves – determining whether a cancer cluster exists is tough but they found enough evidence to declare one here.

Clearly, you just want someone to blame for your own ignorance. Blame yourself. Call up your buddy Dr. Alonso and ask her to explain this highly complex issue to you since you apparently don’t know how to read.

I beleive this is about getting the acreage residents to connect to the county water line that was put in to service the Scripps project that was badly managed by our county administrators and this is a way to make up for the almost 200 million dollar blunder remember you are PUBLIC SERVANTS not self serving gold diggers, as been shown by others your not going to take it with you.

SHAME ON ALL OF THE HATERS! Regardless of whether you believe there is a cancer cluster in the Acreage, the damage is done and we all need to work together to find the answers. To those of you who do not live in the Acreage – are you so ignorant that you think this problem does not affect YOU and YOUR property values? It affects ALL OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. Just stop the petty bickering about paying for water with your tax dollars – Acreage residents pay taxes too! It’s all of PBC’s tax money, not just fancy gated community money.

Is this really about getting the acreage residents to get county water because of the water line to nowhere that cost almost 200 million dollars and to save face or job for bad forecasting on the part of our civic leaders which if you remember are public servants!!

They aren’t moving because of their “cancer house”,they are moving because they bought a house they don’t even come close to being able to afford. Just like a bunch of other tools who bought a $300,000 home out here,and make $40,000 a year. Can you say DOH???

To the right of Bill Nelson in the picture is that Vanessa the forclosed lady that lied to Tim Malloy on TV why she left the Acreage. She was Sponsored/partnership with the Dunsfords web site to grab money for the suffering sick children in our community. Wonder who got the money. The Dunsfords are moving/forclosure/short-sale, your chance to buy a home they believe causes Cancer.

Would somebody ask Mr. Dunsford WHY my tax money needs to be used to test well depths in the acreage? Want us to check the brakes on your car too? How about if we test well depths on EVERY house in the county? GROW UP,and learn about personal responsibility! I had a company come in when we first moved here. BEFORE I EVER PURCHASED MY HOUSE!I had the water tested,the well depth confirmed,just like I had a termite inspection,and a roof inspection. IT’S CALLED BEING AN ADULT! What a bunch of MONEY grubbing ***holes.
PLEASE JUST GO AWAY!

“Selected Acreage residents are starting to take their seats”
Who came up with this list of people?
I guess this was just a picture moment for Nelson.
Another one sided meeting when is he going to invite the people who think this is bogus and have a meeting with them???????
