Its time to VOTE!

Its time to VOTE on how YOU would spend Tonawanda Coke’s criminal fines.

 

Tonawanda Coke was found guilty for breaking environmental laws – but our work is not done. The company faces $200 million in criminal fines – up to $50 million could stay in the community.

On May 23rd we will held a general assembly over a hundred resident brainstormed ideas on what they need to make their community a healthier place to live. To learn more see this article in the Buffalo News.

Over the next few weeks residents from the Tonawandas, Grand Island and parts of Riverside will be meeting to flush out the project ideas, create budgets and secure letters of support from organizations.

The finalized projects will be presented to the community the third week of June for a community wide vote. The projects that gets the most votes will be submitted to the U.S. Justice Department and EPA.

 Now its time to decide on what project YOU would like to see in your community.
