Today's news in the FirstEnergy Little Blue Run poison pond saga: The residents of Greene collected signatures on a petition to see if FirstEnergy's bribes in exchange for allowing them to expand their coal ash operation in the town had persuaded anyone. Before the bribe offer, there were 500 residents opposed to the expansion. After the bribe offer, there were 534 residents opposed to the expansion. I guess bribery wasn't such a good tactic afterall. Money can't buy health or happiness. Must have come as a real shock to all the corporate fat cats who have more money than they know what to do with. Maybe Evanson should offer them a membership in the Duquesne Club to sweeten the pot?

True that k, but the power companies are responsible for adding so much crap to the already muddy alphabet soup. A citizen group with a memorable name like CACA is bound to stand out.
