Join the Fight Against the Fast Tracking of Coal Burning Power Plants

Several weeks ago Mayor Laura Miller of Dallas called on cities across the metroplex to join her in opposing Gov. Perry's fast tracking of seventeen new coal burning power plants. In today’s Dallas Morning News Mayor Miller and the TXU CEO make their cases. So far, fifteen Metroplex communities have joined Mayor Miller’s efforts.

CITIES THAT HAVE JOINED THE FIGHT
Arlington, Cedar Hill, Coppell, Dallas, DeSoto, Duncanville, Fort Worth, Frisco, Houston, Irving, Lancaster, McKinney, Plano, Rockwall, Wylie

The list includes nearly every major North Texas community except areas north of Dallas: Flower Mound, Denton, and Lewisville.

The Flower Mound Town Council meets tonight (8/21). Residents can submit a written comment asking their elected officials to join with Laura Miller and the communities fighting for cleaner air.
