Government News, September 8, 2016

Over the last several weeks, we have been actively communicating with our elected officials regarding Eversource’s updated project proposal. Protect Sudbury has now received a written statement from Senator Barrett and and he shared a copy of his letter to Eversource, in which he encourages ‘porpoising’ along the MBTA ROW, i.e. a mixed over and underground route option. In the meantime, the government relations team continues to work to educate our officials on permanent, irreversible, and ongoing damage to our natural resources along MBTA ROW as opposed to less impactful alternatives. In the same light, we’ve also re-engaged with Senator Warren’s office and are asking her and Senator Markey for leadership and support.
