This is part 2 about the July 8th town Hall meeting about the biomass plant proposed for Valdosta.

First let’s hear George Rhynes explain that it’s never too late to reregulate our minds:

Here I’ve selected videos of local County Commission candidates:

• Debra Franklin running for Lowndes County Commission, District 2.
• We have no video (because she was taking the videos) of Gretchen Quarterman, campaign manager for John S. Quarterman running for Lowndes County Commission, District 2 (the candidate was at another event in his district).
• Bill Eger, running for Lowndes County Commission, District 3.

Here are some unidentified speakers making good points:

• Cancer at a biomass plant in Texas
• Get this on the ballot?
• Start meeting to prevent
• Be proactive: reach everyone
• Smoke from idling diesel trucks

If you recognize yourself or someone else in these videos, please comment saying who. Also, we at LAKE hope someday professional news media will put videos like these on the web so we don’t have to. Then you’ll probably get the first few seconds in which people introduce themselves while our cameras are still starting up. :-)

Here’s a playlist You can get a PDF of the informational flyer and related links here. Still more about the biomass plant, including responses to actioon ittems by Allan Ricketts of the Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority (VLCIA) and numerous posts about this and other biomass plants in the LAKE blog, On the LAKE Front.

I think there are still more videos with more speakers, so there will probably be another post here about this meeting.
