Once again, Sartell resident Peter Wilson rapped the city council at its Dec. 11 meeting for having made decisions he believes are ill-advised and just plain wrong.
Wilson has appeared many times at council meetings to speak during the Open Forum public comments part of the meeting or at the council’s public hearings on various issues.
This time, Wilson said he disagreed with the council’s decision to pass a solar-power ordinance. Solar panels, he maintained, can emit radiation that could affect people living near them. They might have good consequences, but radiation emissions would certainly be negative, he added.
He compared solar-panel dangers to mercury common in schools many years ago when students would handle the substance (such as in chemistry labs), not knowing then that mercury is poisonous.
And then, Wilson, using at times a sing-song sarcasm, turned to a subject he has often broached before: United Nations one-world control efforts.
The UN, he said, is very deviously involved in the governing of counties and cities all through the country. “Green Step” and “Welcoming Cities” programs, Wilson said, are being pushed by the UN, and cities and counties keep adopting them, unaware they are socialist, one-world, UN programs detrimental to the capitalist way of life.
He requested the council review all such programs.
“I recommend you learn from that,” he said.
