Mr. Judge,

 

At the hearing in Springfield Wednesday, I heard much testimony about the proposed rule changes and about the planned biomass plant being foisted on the people of Springfield. 

 

I write to ask for an extention to today’s deadline for comments on those rule changes. 

 

There have not been enough hearings on this matter, and the Worcester area has been completely ignored. 

How you could not hold a hearing in the second largest city in New England is beyond me, especially since it is in the downwind path of the pollution that will come from that plant in Springfield.

 

Please extend the comments deadline.  You owe it to the people of the Commonwealth.

 

Thank you,
