WTF has, in cooperation with
BizzyBlog, been examining documents that have been acquired. In a letter, dated Oct. 31, 2006, to union leaders at the Piketon nuclear plant and to the leadership of the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative, Dr. Victoria Wells AKA Victoria Wulsin lauds them for applying for a grant. This grant that she is lauding is the very one that Congresswoman Jean Schmidt is helping them with. It is the very grant that Victoria Wulsin is ATTACKING Congresswoman Schmidt for, claiming that Congresswoman Schmidt is trying to turn Pike County into a toxic waste dump. If
Dr. Victoria Wells AKA Victoria Wulsin knew so much about the grant, then she would know that it is about RECYCLING uranium at an already existing Department of Energy nuclear site. Therefore one can only conclude that Victoria is lying.
Wells/Wulsin's lie is so outrageous that the USW union out at the nuclear facility chimed in. They wrote a letter, dated November 1st, 2006 to Dr. Wells/Wulsin. In the letter, they write that they appreciate Victoria's support for the plant (which she indicated in her letter, while simultaneously lying in the press). They then go on to write:
We are concerned with a fundamental misconception reported in the press, most recently in the Cincinnati Enquirer, about our pursuit for funding to complete a detailed site analysis related to the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership program (GNEP). Our goal is to complete a site analysis to determine if the Piketon site and local community would support hosting new technologies to related to GNEP.
I don't see anything there about a nuclear waste dump. I see a study to see if new technologies might be hosted at the Piketon site.
The union then completely debunks Wells/Wulsin's lie.
It is important to note that we have not met any elected official or candidate for public office from the Congressional level to the local level that disagrees with our pursuit of funds to complete the site analysis. Most importantly, no elected official including your opponent Congresswoman Schmidt, union member, or community leader supports the idea of creating a waste dump at the Piketon site. Our intent is to better understand the GNEP program, our site, and the role we can play in supporting the country's journey toward energy independence.
There you have it. Proof debunking the lies of Victoria Wells/Wulsin, Jim Borgman, and others. Victoria Wells AKA Victoria Wulsin...you should be ashamed of yourself. NOBODY propsed a waste dump in the Second District. Nobody wants a waste dump. Congresswoman Schmidt is to be lauded and praised for her help of the workers in Pike County. Victoria Wulsin...shame on you for your dishonesty and your lies.
For the convenience of our dear readers, WTF gives you copies of the letters.
