Broken Promises of a Power Plant

Author and activist Maureen Ruhl has been taking on Bechtel Energy, the Clinton County Economic Partnership, the Clinton County Commissioners, Stephanie Borowicz, and others in her fight to stop a power plant from being dropped in the center of a town of fewer than 1,000 people. Many promises have been made of a better tomorrow but at what cost? It's funny these same people involved passed on the opportunity to be placed in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania where they all reside, but it's okay to shove it down their rivals' throats. Not good enough for Lock Haven, but good enough for Renovo. That sounds about right, but why is no one listening to the facts? Why is this town so ready to sabotage itself to benefit others? Listen to one man's testimony of what living next to a power plant is really like!

Refusing to Protect Children

Image
Over the last two years, I have quietly sat back and watched Donna Kshir and Lee ‘Cougardawn’ Roberts fight to open the Pennsylvania central registry. The two grandmothers started campaigning to open the child abuse central registry after 2-year-old Conner Bachuss lost his life to child abuse. The Kentucky toddler’s killer, Ronald Saunders II, had a very violent past dating back to his time in the military, but his past was hidden on the private registry. The two have been documenting their journey on a video blog,  The Road to the Registry , and a podcast,  The Daily with Donna Kshir. I will say Kshir appears more laid back in the podcast. Although she remains confident, she is quite different than her early days in broadcasting. Back in her Dreamcatcher days, she would say the unthinkable to grab your attention to shine light on her cause. It’s safe to say, she offended many people along the way, but it served her agenda well.  Conner’s Law — Kentucky  got passed and Dreamcatchers we

Two Grandmothers Take Down a Billion Dollar Power Plant

Image
You've got to be shitting me. Two grandmothers take down a billion-dollar power plant!! Laughing my ass off. Literally!! Maybe the proposed power plant wasn't what it seemed. Maybe Grandmother Maureen Ruhl knew what she was talking about when she said they needed to sell the land to pay back angry investors. Maybe she knew exactly how bad it was going to be for the residents of Renovo and how Renovo would not benefit from it.  If you have an ounce of sense in your head maybe the people in Renovo should sit down and stop talking and listen to what this woman has to say. You go, Grandma!!!!  - Chapman Girl  RENOVO, PA – Maureen Ruhl and Sue Cannon, two outspoken opponents of the now defunct Renovo Energy Center project have applauded the decision by project backers to end planning for the billion-dollar natural gas-to electricity plant proposed for the borough’s northside. Clean Air Council and other project opponents have praised word on the Bechtol Corporation decision to end i

Only in Renovo

Image
Over the last few days, images and expressions of hate have arisen in the small community of Renovo, Pennsylvania. The images are graphic and contain racial slurs, weapons, and threats. Only a few people will speak openly about it because the alleged minor child is related to a well-connected family in the community, but because of the child’s last name and family’s ties to the community many people in the tiny town are remaining silent out of fear and intimidation of being singled out like the families on 14th Street who were deemed homeless after a several year fight with Renovo Borough Council. Why is no one asking the tough questions? Why does this child feel hate toward others? Why is the child making threats? How does this minor child have access to weapons that should be kept under lock and key? Why did it take several days for the school to issue a statement? Why wasn’t it covered in the media? Why? Why is no one asking? I just don’t understand why no one is concerned about how
