Candidates for Lowndes County Commission went on the record ( Mark Wisenbaker and Tom Hochschild both running for District 3, and Norman Bennett and Gretchen Quarterman both running for District 5), plus a statement by County Chairman Bill Slaughter, in addition to essential background information from directly affected landowners in the audience and from the panelists on why the proposed Sabal Trail methane pipeline is bad for property values, is hazardous here and elsewhere, and will be obsolete in a few decades, all at a SpectraBusters panel on the Sabal Trail pipeline at VSU, Saturday 29 March 2014.
The panelists were Larry Rodgers, a directly affected landowner, Danielle Jordan, president of Students Against Violating the Environment (S.A.V.E.), Michael G. Noll, president of Wiregrass Activists for Clean Energy (WACE), and an empty chair for Mrs. Susan Waller of Spectra Energy, who declined to attend. John S. Quarterman also spoke for another allied organization, WWALS Watershed Coalition.
Several other directly-affected landowners spoke from the audience, including Carol Singletary and Rick Hastings.
