In an obvious move to blunt the effects of the Virginia Conservation Network’s Lobby Day on Monday the 21st, the Senate has bumped up the vote on SB423, the Citizen Board Abolition Bill, to 9:30 am Monday morning, well before our people arrive at the Capitol.

SB423, a Citizen Board Abolition Bill in the Senate, is set for a vote THIS MONDAY at 9:30AM. This bill, if passed would make it much harder for us to fight the Wise County coal plant by taking away the VETO POWER of the Air Pollution Control Board, a citizen group which works with the Department of the Environmental Quality. If the Air Board loses permitting authority, which the bill asks for, Dominion gets a rubber stamp to build whatever they want.

What You Can DO:

If your Senator is listed here: It’s SO IMPORTANT that you send this to others from your area since they will decide first in committee!!! (Alexandria) Ticer (Chairman), (Arlington) Whipple, Hanger, (Midlothian) Watkins, (Martinsville) Reynolds, Puckett, (Clarksville) Ruff, (Chesapeake) Blevins, (Charlottesville) Deeds, (Harrisonburg)Obenshain, (Mechanicsville) McDougle, (Richmond) McEachin, (Fairfax) Petersen, (Norfolk) Northam, (Montross) Stuart
