Cookie Smell in Bus Shelters Shows Lack of Environmental Illness AwarenessBruce Okabyline‚ Dec. 11‚ 2006There's an overlooked disability aspect of the media furor over the cookie smell ad promotion in bus shelters. It goes to the professionalism and awareness--or lack thereof--of those in power or working for the city. It happened during the December 5th MTA Board of Directors meeting discussion about the requested ending of the cookie smell ad promotion in MUNI bus shelters.Two of the MTA Board members talked about "not going overboard" on this issue and also asking for some scientific evidence, rather than just hearsay and allegations, about "multiple chemical sensitivities" / environmental illness". This MAY have sounded prudent to the public, but got no follow-up comment from either MTA management nor from any of the deputy city attorneys attending the meeting. So? |
