Sewage Spill Blame
The San Diego City Council and Mayor Maureen O’Connor have been quick to point a finger at who is responsible for the massive sewer spill off of Point Loma. They say nature is to blame, large swells and shifting ocean bottoms caused the pipe to break.
This could be true. However, I feel the City Council and mayor are the ones who are at fault.
Why didn’t they have the insight to look down the road and see that this could happen and have an emergency back-up system? Why didn’t they take heed to the warnings that the pipe was corroded? Because they were too cheap, and now everybody must pay.
Isn’t it ironic that nature is being blamed for destroying nature?
