[Durham INC] Fw: The Bull City a bully?

[Melissa Rooney]

FYI -- if the links (to email mayor bell) don't seem to work, please try again later...

Sometimes they load and sometimes they don't. I had to try several times before I got the links to load. [Either they are just getting a lot of traffic right now (slowing things down), or something may be wrong with their server...I'll let Elizabeth Ouzts know...]

Alternatively, you can email Mayor Bell Directly:
Bill.Bell at durhamnc.gov

Thanks!

                  Hi 



                  The Bull City has been an environmental 
                  leader over the years -- on curbing global warming, 
                  on recycling.


                  But now, Mayor Bill Bell isn't just opposing new rules to 
                  protect Jordan Lake and New Hope Creek, he and the city 
                  council are trying to recruit other local governments in the 
                  Triangle to join him. [1]
                  That's not just bad news for Jordan Lake -- it's also bad 
                  news for New Hope Creek, which feeds into the part of 
                  the reservoir that Durham officials contend isn't worth 
                  protecting [2].
                  Isn't worth protecting?
                  
Send an e-mail to Mayor 
                  Bell. Let him know you support protecting Jordan 
                  Lake.
                  
This just isn't right. Durham officials have long 
                  known that they'd need to reduce pollution from their 
                  wastewater treatment plants, since both state and federal laws 
                  require them to do so. 
                  
The Mayor's actions simply don't jive with his 
                  history, and with Durham's history, of leading when it comes 
                  to the environment.
                  
Send an e-mail to Durham Mayor Bill Bell. Let him 
                  know you support protecting all of Jordan Lake.
