The unexplained VX nerve agent detection recently shows the need for perimeter monitoring systems.
As a resident of Jacksonville, I ask Shelby to user his strong commitment to the public safety of your constituents to have the Army deploy real-time chemical agent perimeter monitors.
The Army is keeping the vulnerable public in the dark about release and emission of chemical agents. We must take action into our own hands, we cannot trust the Army to be fair and balanced with the population surrounding the Depot.
The Army does not have the best interests of the area residents in its lexicon. The only way to protect us is to have a perimeter monitoring system that does not depend on an Army bureaucrat to “sound the alarm.” The citizens of Alabama had no say in the location of the chemical weapons incinerator, at least they should have a say in our protection.
