Why Not "Polluter Pays"

The Blanket Bay residents pollute their own neighbourhood, and other ratepayers in the City are going to have to pay 80% of the cost of resolving the problem. Whatever happened to the principle that those who cause pollution should pay the full cost of cleaning it up?
The ODT story is here, or download the full Council Report (pdf).
Unfortunately a precedent was set when dealing with a similar situation at Allanton, as I discussed in a previous blog post.
