The WGC plant proponents are mounting a petition campaign to convince Senator Byrd to help them raise another $25 million, despite the fact that they are way over budget, out of money and have defaulted on their loans, which were guaranteed by the WV Development Office. The $25 million is so they can borrow $300 million with municipal bonds through Citigroup and get a grant from the US DOE for over $100 million. This use of taxpayers funds for a bad idea must stop.
Letters are better than petitions. Please write a letter to Senator Byrd (and you can send copies to Rahall and Manchin).
AND SEND A COPY TO ME SO WE WILL KNOW HOW OUR LETTER CAMPAIGN IS GOING.
AND FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE YOU CAN THINK OF.
Attached is the text from our fact sheet. If you can't open it, or want more details, just let me know.
