On the same day the City of Elizabethtown and Wawa issued their first written statements about the July 20 fuel spill on Ring Road, the city also briefed its council about it in open session, on camera. The mayor explained why the city had said nothing for three weeks. A resident told him that was too long. None of that was on the agenda.
