Tuesday -- December 12
Shady Grove Town Hall Meeting with State Senators and Delegates from Districts 19 and 39
Make Sure That These State Representatives Hear Your Concerns About the ICC
Time: 8:00pm
Place: Mill Creek Towne Elementary School
17700 Park Mill Dr.
Derwood, Md 20855
Featuring: Sen. Mike Lennett* Sen. Patrick Hogan
Del. Henry Heller Del. Charles Barkely
Del. Roger Manno* Del. Nancy King
Del. Benjamin Kramer* Del. Saqib Ali*
*Invited
Ask These Elected Officials To:
1. Press the State Highway Administration to halt all action aimed at acquiring homes, and public and private land, for the ICC until all legal issues have been full resolved and until the new Montgomery County government and the O'Malley administration have set their transportation priorities.
2. Urge Martin O'Malley to hold town hall meetings as part of the state transportation priorities review.
3. Demand that the State Highway Administration fully assess the impacts of toxic air pollution from the ICC on communities near the ICC. The State has refused to assess and disclose these impacts even though cars, trucks and other vehicles generate many toxic and carcinogenic pollutants and even though the ICC would slash through dozens of communities and very near schools and parks.
4. Demand that the State restate the ICC's construction costs in light of sharp increases in the cost of energy and construction materials. The State has not restated the ICC's costs in two years.
