Concerned
about having Fracking under Deer Lakes Park? (and possibly the start
of fracking under all of our county parks)? Rich Fitzgerald wants
approval to frack under OUR county parks! Allegheny County
Council will soon vote on Ordinance number 8182-14 (see below) which will grant
him that power!
A total of 8
NO votes (or abstentions) are needed to stop fracking from starting in our parks! There are 15 council members, one from each district and 2 at-large
members.
MAKE YOUR
VOICE HEARD! Attend and speak at the April 15th County Council public hearing. You can speak for up to 3 minutes if you preregister by Monday afternoon at 4:30, but even just attending sends a message!
Tuesday April 15th 5pm
at the County Courthouse (436 Grant Street Gold Room 4th floor). You can register online or via phone at (412) 350- 6490 (by 4:30 p.m. on Monday).
Whether or not you can attend the meeting, please make your council
member and the 2 at-large members aware of your opposition to fracking under
the county parks. Write or call them.
