Comments: Enjoy your 4th of July...then help us keep our independence from unnecessary fouling of air, water and agricultural heritage by uranium mining and milling in VA.
Any and everything you do to insure the continued ban on uranium mining in Virginia is important. Every meeting you attend is an opportunity to show that support.
On Tuesday, July 5th it is important for you to attend the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors meeting @ 7 PM.
It does not matter if you are a resident of Danville, Floyd Co., South Boston or Charlottesville. You need to be counted. Tom Leahy will address the BOS regarding the "Virginia Beach" study which raised awareness as to potential impacts uranium mining could have on the Roanoke River watershed.
At the BOS meeting 2 weeks ago, Supervisor Ecker's motion for a resolution aimed at DEQ and DMME to get baseline data on citizen's wells prior to drilling additional core samples died for lack of a second. Hence, no discussion ensued. With the exception of Mr. Ecker, the BOS basically "blew off" yet another opportunity to protect its citizens. Pittsylvania Co. is ground zero. Why do these elected officials remain mute? We're only left to guess.
If these Supervisors do not see you supporting the continued ban, it makes it easier for them to do nothing and allow it to be lifted. Please come, show support for Mr. Leahy and the one dedicated supervisor left on the Pittsylvania Co. BOS, on Tuesday night. Encourage your family, friends, church members and organizations to attend.
