Great presentation! Thank you so much for attending, reporting and providing all of the links.
ReplyDeleteThe hearing in Thurston County will be at 5:30 so we ought to all be able to get there to support the only governmental agency in Washington (and the country?) who has shown an interest in protecting the citizens and our environment.
The air-breathers of Shelton and Mason County would love to have a Board of County Commissioners who wanted to put these bad boys on hold while they brought themselves up to speed on the science and medicine.
Let's do everything we can to support Thurston County in their efforts to behave in this sane manner.
I asked our own Commissioner Lynda Ring Erickson at a Mason County Democratic monthly meeting last summer what she was doing about Adage. She said she was studying it (effects of biomass on civilian population) every night ... I wonder if she has reached any frigging conclusions yet?
Since there is no moratorium proposed for Mason County, or even any discussion by "leadership" of a moratorium, I suppose she is still "studying this every night." Gotta love a woman who takes her time to really study an issue; or despise her for the liar she is?
Hard to choose...
There were very informative presentations put on around the room for all to view and then discuss with various presentors.
ReplyDeleteThe Dessert Buffet was a Big Plus that night!
Fran Prescott presented where we have come and where we need to get to in order to delay and ultimately STOP ADAGE from building in our lovely Mason County area.
Our "Thanks" to all the Community of Mason County who support our mutual efforts in keeping our air clean to breathe and our waters unpolluted by the various run-off from the likes of ADAGE and its trucks. Let alone, the "black tar" that WILL cover our cars, trucks and cause problems within each of our homes in keeping our furniture clean and our home-air clean to breathe!
