News broke over the weekend that state legislators and Governor Wolf are preparing to amend HB 732 in order to give potentially billions of dollars in subsidies to the fracking and petrochemical industries. The amendment supposedly will include all of the worst of provisions of HB 1100, including billions of dollars to an industry that poisons our children and ruins our planet and ties our state budget to fracking for decades to come, in defiance of the carbon reductions climate scientists tell us need to happen within less than ten years.

I was disappointed & angry that you voted for the previous HB 1100 petrochemical subsidy bill, but thankfully it was vetoed by the governor before it could do damage to our health and our planet.

Now's your opportunity to make amends for that vote by actually representing the people of this region instead of fossil fuel corporations.

Please oppose HB 732 or any other attempt at petrochemical subsidies. We don't want or need poisonous petrochemical industry here. What we need is a Green New Deal that would create thousands of good green infrastructure and renewable energy jobs that would rebuild our economy while also protecting our health and planet.
