I agree with what Jonathan Sokolow says below. I’d add that the inaction of Gov. Northam’s administration on these disastrous pipelines is totally unacceptable and will mark a permanent stain on their record. So much for Northam’s continued promises and claims that these pipelines are being done according to “the science” and/or according to strict environmental protection standards.
“This is a sample of the destruction being wrought by the Mountain Valley Pipeline in Franklin County- pipeline route turned into a river of sediment and floating debris and pipes. When Ralph Northam and his DEQ say all is good, they are lying.”
