Denton and Southlake pass Fair Share Resolutions

That makes an even half dozen in one month’s time, plus the COG resolution, with interruptions for elections and Memorial Day weekend. For comparison’s sake, we didn’t get to six Green Cement resolutions for at least a year.

We want to thank everyone who made this frantic run successful. With an average of about two resolutions a week, we think we proved our point: DFW residents want the state to cut VOC emissions from the gas industry in this clean air plan.

Sometime Wednesday, we’ll have a report from the TCEQ meeting in Austin, where the DFW air plan is up for a scheduled vote in the morning. This meeting is a milestone, but it’s not the end of the Fair Share campaign. There’s a public hearing in Arlington on July 14th we have to get ready for, as well as the announcement from EPA of new air regulations for gas field toxics that will need all the help they can get to withstand industry and congressional counter attacks.

These VOCs will get reduced one way or another. Dominoes have begun to fall.
