Fighting TRAIL power line

State Rep. Bill DeWeese is sponsoring a petition for residents who want to add their voice to the growing number of people opposed to the TrAIL power line. By signing the petition, you also will receive periodic updates about the plans.

Everyone must remain vigilant against the power line. Although a proposed route has been submitted to the state Public Utility Commission by the power company, it’s possible they could modify the route once the process works its way through the system. A rate increase for everyone in Southwestern Pennsylvania is sure to follow, because the power company will seek to recoup its expenses of building the new power line.

There are three ways that you can join the hundreds of people who already have signed the petition.

Visit his Web site www.pahouse.com/DeWeese to add your name. On the site, you also can learn more about what Bill DeWeese and other groups are doing to protest the TrAIL and keep our families safe.

If you would like to sign the petition in person, please stop by any of Bill DeWeese’s offices at your convenience.

Sign the attached petition and drop it off at one of Bill DeWeese’s offices or mail it to his Harrisburg Office: 110 Main Capitol Building, House Box 202050, Harrisburg, PA 17120-2050
