From the Office of Representative Sam Belsito:
"Why pour much-needed state funds into this project when there is an alternative that is not only cheaper, but won’t cause the plethora of problems that this site will bring to the hard-working residents of Willington?"

In the last 24 hours, people across the state (and across the country), have visited our website. News is spreading, and the myth that this is a "Not In My Backyard" issue is dispelling. People are realizing that what happens in a quiet corner of the Quiet Corner effects the whole state. Our governor doesn't just have to answer to the residents of Willington- the entire state is asking questions now.
