Concrete Plant Fight

PLEASE ATTEND THIS IMPORTANT MEETING IN SUPPORT OF OUR CAUSE
[If you have a sign, bring it!]

Thursday 3/15 7:00 PM

COUNCIL CHAMBERS, THIRD FLOOR, CITY HALL, CRANSTON

We the people have been silenced!

The Mayor and the City Council have failed to follow through and remove the permit for the concrete batching plant in our neighborhood.

We deserve a Zoning Board hearing.

We have paid $500 for the right to be heard.

We have been canceled twice and cannot be heard until the number of members on the Zoning Board is expanded.

We have not been allowed to present our case to the Zoning Board.

We need to expose the facts to the light of day.

The Mayor and the courts have been unwilling or unable to do so.

We must Expose the dangers to the health and safety of Cranston citizens.

We must Expose the defects in the permit and potential illegalities.

We must Expose the pending damage to the ecosystem, streams, rivers and the Narragansett Bay.

We applaud the Ordinance Committee for addressing this issue by seeking to expand the number of alternates that currently serve on the Board from two to four.

ITEM 2-07-1 http://www.cranstonri.com/pdf/calendar_meetings/Mar15,2007_7488.pdf

Come and support their efforts so we can take this to the next step!

Only then can we, the citizens, be heard.

If you have not already done so, please write to the Mayor, City Council and DEM.

Background Information:

There is a wonderfully written article by GEOFF SHOOS in the Cranston Herald

This is a must read!
