From Jim Schroeder.....
I wanted to quickly pass along to you a prompt response that I received to the e-mail that I sent earlier this evening about the proposed rock mining legislation being on the agenda of meetings of Tennessee House and Senate committees scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, April 16, 2008. The person who responded has been a close observer of the progress of the rock mining legislation and stated that "it looks like this bill is in real trouble.
They expect over 300 rock miners to show up for the committee meeting. The legislators have heard lots from the rock miners. They have not heard from landowners. TTA has generated letters, but I am afraid not enough. The rock miners are presenting themselves as small businesses that are being picked on."Sounds like it's especially important for people to contact their legislators ASAP and urge them to support the proposed legislation. - Jim
Ok guys...now is the time to send those emails! Look back in the blog archives (left sidebar) and find the previous rock mining posts for all the legislator's names and emails. You'll also find sample letters there. Do you want our trails destroyed? Take 10 minutes, cut & paste the samples, and send everyone an email. - Millette
