Details for March 30 DPU hearing:
*Wednesday, March 30, 7pm.* *ALL OUT!!* DPU Public Comment Session for
Northeast Energy Direct (NED) Survey Petitions, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (TGP). Greenfield Middle School Auditorium, 195 Federal St.,
Greenfield, MA. Kinder Morgan’s subsidiary, TGP, filed three petitions
with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) seeking
authority to enter some 450 private properties to conduct “surveys
preliminary to eminent domain” for the proposed NED fracked gas pipeline
project. Many landowners have received multiple letters and visits from the
company’s agents over the course of two years, even after denying survey
permission on multiple occasions. The pipeline company’s recent DPU filings
do not include a request to enter the majority of the 100+ publicly and
privately held conservation parcels in Massachusetts that are on the
proposed pipeline route, the majority of which are protected from
development under the Massachusetts constitution. Written comments may be
submitted through Friday May 6, 2016. Written comments should be emailed
to: dpu.efiling@xxxxxxxxxxx and Hearing Officer Stephen August at
Stephen.August@xxxxxxxxxxx. More here:

Hello friends,
It's probably a good idea for us to all figure out which events are
coming up where we should have a presence. I certainly hope that we will
all do our best to support the SugarShack events and to help build bridges
with our friends allies there! We need to be working together.
I'll be sending out an "about us" quarter sheet to have on hand.
Hopefully we will connect with SSA soon on the Pledge of Resistance, which
should be a great way to coalesce our base of support.
In solidarity,
Marty

the trainers. Folks usually throw in from $5 to $20 each. TO REGISTER:
