Don't Frack St. Tammany Parish
The citizens of St. Tammany Parish have spoken, and spoken loudly. They don't want the Helis fracking facility in their community. The documented negative effects of fracking on the natural environment and public health are bad enough, but the fact that this facility would be located next to Lakeshore High School goes too far. We must protect all of our resources, including our most precious resource, our children.
Therefore, we the undersigned urge you to block the Helis fracking facility, to listen to the citizens of St. Tammany and to uphold St. Tammany's zoning laws, which prohibit this facility from being constructed and operated.
Thank You
Why is this important?
The citizens of St. Tammany parish do not want fracking in the community. St. Tammany zoning laws prohibit the construction and operation of the proposed Helis fracking facility. Further, the fact that this facility would be located proximate to Lakeshore High School is unacceptable. Our environment and health, especially the health of our children must be protected, and this facility must be stopped.
