Many Meetings Wed, May 20th!
Here's your chance to tell your county commissioners: NO PIPELINE!! NOT IN OUR BIG BEND!! Help them understand that we say NO to the proposed 42" gas pipeline to go UNDER the Rio Grande River in 2 places! Besides destroing ecological biodiversity of the river on both sides, think about what happens when a 42" gas pipeline explodes (or leaks) underneath the river. How would that effect life in & around the Rio Grande at the point of explosion, and life as we know it downstream. Sign up for Public Comment to make your voice heard.
