When Public is Barred From "Public" Hearings

Public denied access to FERC public meeting 5-14-2015

Over 30 citizens from NC, VA, MD, PA, NJ, and CT were denied entry to the monthly Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) public meeting.

 However two managed to get past pass Federal Protective Service guards. They voiced concerns with dangers posed by FERC approval of natural gas transmission pipelines in their communities.

So the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission decided it didn't want to listen to criticism from frontline communities impacted by ‪#‎fracking‬. So it banned the public from a public meeting, and then approved another pipeline. Sign here if you've had enough of the ‪#‎fercus‬
