Virginia Congressmen Introduce Bill to Stop ‘Corridors’ Like TrAIL
U.S. Reps. Frank Wolf and Tom Davis, who represent residents in the path of TrAIL in Northern Virginia, have introduced legislation to prevent the Federal government from taking over the siting of power transmission lines from state and local authorities — a very real threat with TrAIL.
Wolf and Davis are Republicans, but they noted in a press release that the Democratic chairman of the Domestic Policy subcommittee of the House Government Reform Committee has agreed to hold a hearing on the matter.
