Cell Phone Vote

This evening , I had to be home due to Family Business and I watched a few of the articles and their argumentation. I took high interest in Senior Center Cell Tower/Ground ( whatever it is ) 'Barn' vote. Usually when I am curious about an 'activity' I ask a question and wait for the answer. This article, if passed ( and I don't know  how it  began or who was 'approached' and received 'cooperation' with, would benefit 'only' the Senior Center $ 30,000. There are 'concerns' among many which are as yet 'unknown' about either health 'risks' or 'Degradation' and an otherwise thoughtful populace who has lived without Cell Phones for hundreds of years would vote 'Let's wait' as we have lived through Lead Paint when it was 'O.K'.. Mercury 'Fillings' when they were 'safe' in our mouths...Paregoric when it was prescribed for children's mouths ...Lithium .. which was fine for  " 7 UP', Cocaine in Coca Cola  when it 'gave you a lift' and more. With all that history it was important that 'you could get a signal', and your children could get 'through'. ( God Help Us with the 'stupidity' I saw this evening). And I say that because I 'feel' something about this $ 30,000 was 'driving' this article and I feel there was a thoughtless 'drive' behind it which we have 'abhorred' for decades in this town. Now my 'QUESTION' IS ..which I 'may not want the answer : 'Was there a Drive... by Any Source, from the Top Position in the Senior Center on Down to get 'Seniors' to 'Come out and/or Transportation 'Arranged' to come and back this  $ 30,000 opportunity 'without' consideration of 'any risks ' whatsoever ?.........I am 'not sure' I want the 'answer' at all and may wish to 'live without it'.. For the way I may feel if a certain 'answer comes forth' , will lead me in a short while to call for a 'few changes' and few letters to the Attorney General to seek recourse.. .. to the 'vote' which occurred. I am 'very serious' . And 'others are also. '
