Deputy Mayor Ramia feels the heat ...

Almost one year into their scare campaign of Toowoomba residents, Toowoomba City Council's Deputy Mayor Joe Ramia is worried.

Has the scare campaign backfired on them?

He is quoted in today's Chronicle as saying:

"There are people out there petrified that we are going to run out of water and that's what we are trying to avoid," Cr Ramia said.

See - Chronicle - Tempers wear thin.

Well, Mr Ramia, it is your Council and your Water Futures team who have been spreading these rumours:

"There are no other options"

"There is no Plan B"

"We'll run out of water by Christmas"

"A No vote means no water".

What did you think some of the people would think?

In the face of the misleading and deceptive conduct by Mayor Thorley and Toowoomba City Council, it has been the calming voice of others in this debate who have assured people that the State and Federal governments will not let Toowoomba run out of water.

Are things not working out as you planned?

Is your polling showing that voters prefer real solutions now that the Water Futures project has been shown as not providing water in the short-term or the long-term and not providing sufficient water at any time?

Just where will the RO waste stream go and how much extra will it cost Toowoomba's ratepayers when you can't get Acland Coal to accept it?

Deputy Mayor Ramia is also quoted as saying:

"I'm sick of the nonsense and garbage – and the misinformation that's out there."

Well, so are we!

On 29 July, you will find out just how damaging your conduct has been to the Water Futures campaign ...
