To the editor:
Will someone please tell me why Congressman Richard Neal backs a PCB dump in Lee, despite initially advocating for the toxic waste to be shipped out of state? Could it be because he takes money from General Electric’s PAC every year?
By now fighting for this dump to be kept in state, Neal saved GE an incredible amount of time and money. GE plans to conduct over 55,000 16-ton truck trips from the river to the dump in Lee—a much more affordable option than transporting it out of state, and a major release of carbon emissions.
Richard Neal has sold us out for less than $50,000 in campaign donations. Now imagine how he works behind the scenes to benefit the countless number of corporations and special interest groups that pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars. If our Congressman is so preoccupied with “saving our environment,” he should start with the mess that he helped create.
Independent candidate Nadia Milleron of Sheffield is looking better and better. How about a debate, Congressman?
