Tell the State NO on the Wise County Powerplant - Deadline Dec 14 to submit comments! It's your right -
“Any person not participating as a respondent as provided for below may give oral testimony concerning this case as a public witness at the hearing.” – VA SCC code
It does not require a majority to prevail,
but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.
