Good to see everyone – Senators Creigh Deeds, John Bell, Jennifer Boysko, John Edwards, Ghazala Hashmi; Delegates Betsy Carr, Patrick Hope, Elizabeth Guzman, Chris Hurst, Mark Keam, Ken Plum, Sam Rasoul, Danica Roem, Kathy Tran, Ibraheem Samirah – who signed on to the following letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), urging that it “deny any requests from Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC, for permission to cut trees, clear land, or install pipe in the Commonwealth” and “deny anextension of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline [ACP]” Presumably, many more Senators and Delegates also oppose the ACP (e.g., see this list here)…perhaps their names might be added to this letter?
