Transcript
- OBP: Today was a really good day. I think there was a lot of people there and we pack the state house like we wanted to, but there was a lot of people that showed up. Thirty five verbal testimonies today, another seventy written testimonies. Seventy one I think he said. So that was pretty amazing. ⁓ And I like everybody who ⁓ showed up voiced all the same concerns, you know? Water use Electricity getting pushed back on us, taking advantage of rural unzoned areas, lack of transparency in NDAs. not so much on the tax abatement since the news of last week. And I think that We were heard and we'll see if democracy works. I that we did good and I think that everybody realizes that we are from Ohio ⁓ and we ⁓ we do want life and we don't want you to give up the ship. And if you give up the water and the ship can't even flow, so I'm very thankful, grateful, blessed for everybody who showed up and everybody who's doing this and in this fight with us because we presented legitimate concerns and w we all have a right to be concerned and it wasn't just the citizens that said that. Like I said in my testimony, it was Mary Mertz and Maureen Willis, they're department heads of O D N R and Ohio Consumer Council. I shouldn't be begging for ⁓ the core democratic in democracy to work because there is enough reason for a statewide moratorium to be put in place until we get the answers to make sure that we have life for another two hundred and fifty years. That's it. I love everybody that showed up today. I love everybody who's cheering us on. And I love everybody who's given us the courage to keep pushing forward. Thank you. Keep signing petitions. Keep signing them petitions. Don't give up the ship.
