Three years ago, on Valentine's Day, we shut down the pet-project/dream/nightmare of damming the Susquehanna River in the Wyoming Valley. Championed by a now-retired 12-term U.S. Congressman, "people who knew people" thought it was a done deal, i.e. the proposed inflatable dam had too much political backing to be stopped.
Guess what? We didn't listen, and the debatable inflatable dam has been buried for three years and counting.
Today, the task before us is daunting, but not impossible. I truly believe that. Folks, it's time to start barking at the moon.
Be back in a few...I have to get a note from my Mom.

P.S. - Senate Bill 447 is worse than I thought. Ponder this gem from this piece of
§ 3492. Trade secrets.
(a) Right to privacy. Confidential proprietary information or trade secrets submitted by parties during proceedings under this chapter may not be disclosed by the commission or any other parties privy to such information or secrets. The information may be submitted under seal for review by the administrative law judge only and shall be exempt from the act of February 14, 2008 (P.L.6, No.3), known as the Right-to-Know Law.
Hey...who needs to know what's going on in Harrisburg?
When did Cheney start helping write PA bills for Sen Yaw?
ReplyDeleteI have little doubt the gas folks crafted some or all of this legislation. Someone should ask the good Senator exactly that in a public meeting.
