Wow, this is Winter when the air is supposed to be being cleaned by snowfall and storm after storm racing across the country. Can you imagine what it will be like with an asphalt plant on the Swanzey/Winchester line and a wood burning ( among other things) Power Plant downtown .. real healthy for the Monadnock Region and beautiful downtown Winchester.

And another leak at the nuclear power plant!!!! But it appears that the only brain damaged ones are sitting in the town hall. My hats off to the woman in Swansea and her post as well as being in the Sentinel. When the town is not listening and DES is not listening what next???? So many of us have tried and tried and no one listens. At least the lawmakers in VT are fighting for the environment.
