Urge Governor Kaine to appoint environmental stewards to the Air Pollution Control Board
 Governor Kaine is about to appoint two new members of the State Air Pollution Control Board, a body which reviews permits for polluting facilities such as the Wise County plant and the Mirant plant in Alexandria. The Air Pollution Control Board is the ultimate authority on issues relating to air pollution and industry in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
For the health and safety of Virginia, we need people who are unaffiliated and uninfluenced by the big industries they will be regulating. Board members serve for four years, so good appointments now will help to protect Virginia's air for the years to come. This is a critical time to ensure that this institution will be a strong guiding force for the protection of our climate. Please help us urge Kaine to make thoughtful appointments, ones that will help continue Virginia's progress toward cleaner air. TAKE ACTION NOW! MORE >
