Council approves forwarding clean-air letter draft to supervisors for possible delivery to governor
Summary
The council reviewed and approved a draft letter urging enforcement of current federal clean-air protections and moved to forward the draft to the township supervisors; members suggested wording changes to reference 'current federal laws' or 'established guidelines.'
Members reviewed a drafted letter intended for Governor Shapiro urging continued enforcement of federal clean-air protections and agreed to forward the draft to the township supervisors.
The group discussed wording adjustments to avoid implying changes in statutory law; one member recommended replacing the phrase "federal laws" with "current federal laws" or "established federal guidelines" to reflect potential regulatory changes while preserving the letter’s intent. Members noted that final action to send the letter rests with the supervisors.
A motion to submit the draft to the supervisors was made and seconded; the motion passed by voice during the meeting. Council members said their role was advisory and that they hoped supervisors would not dilute the draft when deciding whether to transmit it to the governor.
Next steps: the council will forward the clean-air letter draft to the supervisors for consideration and any edits the supervisors may choose to make.
