Hundreds Gather to Protest Power Lines
Darrah Wilcox of WDTV in Bridgeport, WV, reported yesterday on a protest against Allegheny Power’s TrAIL power line:
They’ve been expanding their forces for the past few weeks to show their opposition to a proposed Allegheny Power line project, and now the group is really beginning to make some noise.
More than 200 concerned residents of the Halleck community in Monongalia County and the surrounding area gathered at the Triune Halleck Volunteer Fire Department this afternoon to unify their actions.
The group discussed who they should write letters to, what they should say, and how to get other people involved.
They urge concerned citizens to write the Public Service Commission, their respective county commissions, the governor, state and federal legislators and spread the word to their neighbors before it’s too late.
