70 people attended the Concerned Citizens of Mason County Public Information Meeting at the Shelton Civic Center on Wed., March 9th.
Fran Prescott, CCMC Board Chair, gave a detailed talk & slide show
on environmental & health hazards of the proposed ADAGE project.
Most welcomed news of the evening came when excerpts were read
from Public Land Commissioner Peter Goldmark's March 4th letter to
Mason County Commissioners, expressing ADAGE project concerns.

Thank you, Commissioner Goldmark. We are so happy that you think the only reason we shouldn't have a big nasty biomass incinerator that will make us sick, clog our roads with traffic, foul our air and water, lower our property values and turn all our children into truck-drivers is because there's not enough twigs lying on the ground to keep the thing fed. Thank God we have visionaries such as you looking out for us.
ReplyDeleteOh, Tom, you are being too hard on Peter.
ReplyDeleteIt's because he wants to make jet fuel with the limited amount of biomass.
Our electeds are all mad as hatters.
NEVERTHELESS, Goldmark's letter is bound to take some of the wind out of the sails of ADAGE!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate that Goldmark did not take a position that was pro-air-breathers and citizens, rather than protecting the limited resource for his pet project, slash to jet fuel; but at least an elected official besides Port Commissioner Jack Miles has come out against the Adage project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter; but we are not going to take the gold tooth off of the pig just yet!
