what i thought was going to be a tour of a new wildlife refuge - brought to you by the eco-minded at one of our several local power plants - turned out to be essentially a glorified press conference, complete with politicians from all levels, including area US Congress Reps....after everyone got their turn at the podium, some of the power reps regaling us with tales of spying osprey roosting upon piles of coal ash and a deer turning up in the factory (maybe he was looking for work - this IS Michigan, after all!!), the event wrapped up, local citizens and politicians taking the opportunity to meet and greet the DC pols....just a frame i liked from the event, and one which, i'm proud to say, is what we are running with the story in today's paper. whatcha think? works? yes? no?Wednesday, March 26, 2008
