More Impressions from the Wardensville Meeting
We are still waiting for the definitive summary of what was asked and what was said in answer, but Ralph W. sends along these thoughts:
- Delegate Shaver suggested Governor Manchin now opposes the transmission line project.
- The public needs to contact the Governor and other representatives.
Regarding 1), I think it is important that the public hear this from the Governor himself. Regarding 2), Allegheny is involved in a media campaign in PA to try to win approval of the project. The Web site
http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/email_list.cfm?body=S
has e-mail addresses for the PA state senators. This site
http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/email_list.cfm?body=H
has contact information for PA delegates (but e-mail can only be sent through Web forms).
Ralph’s observations point out how this is an interstate issue. We CAN protest what goes on in another state when it affects us!
If you would rather write to Gov. Manchin and the West Virginia legislature, you can find all the info you need on our “Take Action” page.
The message from Wardensville is that YOUR VOICE COUNTS. MAKE IT HEARD.
