February 14, 2011 – CHICAGO CITY HALL
After ten months since the original introduction to the Chicago City Council, the Chicago Clean Power Ordinance finally receives a hearing. During that time it is estimated that 30 more people died from health problems directly related to the pollution caused by the two coal fired power plants on Chicago’s southwest side.
Though hundreds of supporters for the ordinance were present, the same could not be said for the majority of the city’s council members. We are very thankful for those co-sponsors and others who did take time out of their schedule to attend and we’d like to share a few highlights in this video for folks who were not able to attend our hearing.
It is unfortunate that tomorrow, February 22nd, is election day in Chicago and so few of our current aldermen and candidates were present for the hearing on this highly important issue.
Do you know if your candidate supports the Chicago Clean Power Ordinance?
