Lakewood resident speaks out against the to air pollution — more specifically: coal pollution.
This letter was submitted by Lakewood resident Heather Morgan Ohio has become the biggest offender when it comes to toxic air waste. The people of Ohio are suffering and literally paying for this to happen. It appalls me that our government knows about this and continues to let this happen. Ohio’s outdated coal plants are causing people to die, while leaving the rest to live with diseases like M.S and cancer cause by public utilities’ lust for profit and power.

From my perspective, the board is at worst broken and at best seriously damaged. As a lifelong citizen of Lakewood and a graduate of Lakewood High School, I find the processes and procedures used by the current members of the board to be disturbing. This school board keeps telling the public that it is completely transparent, yet they continue to pass policy in violation of their own bylaws and with sleight of hand that would make Houdini proud.

Agreed.... Ohio has to take a stance on Toxic Air Pollution now, so that things could be better for our children.
