League of Conservation Voters endorsement to Sestak

The top Billboard song of 1983 was "Every Breath You Take."

Perhaps that phrase has a different meaning to 26,000 Havertown residents who live less than a mile from a toxic waste site has been on the EPA's National Priorities List (NPL) since 1983. In 2006, the site still isn't complete, and the EPA Superfund has been drained by a Republicans in Congress who are practically in bed with big polluters.

Curt Weldon likes to portray himself as an environmentalist. To his (limited) credit, his voting record is better than most other Republicans. But he cherry picks. PennEnvironment reports that he votes about 40% of the time for environmentally responsible legislation. Better than Santorum, no doubt, who seems to actually hate all living things. But a far cry from wearing a green mantle.

Haverford's incomparable State Rep. Greg Vitali was on hand yesterday to help announce that the League of Conservation voters has endorsed Joe Sestak. Vitali says:

When elected, Joe Sestak will fight to protect the health and well-being of the residents of this district and will work to protect our environment. He will stand with this community to work proactively to provide the necessary resources to complete the Havertown PCP Superfund project. The residents of this neighborhood and this district deserve nothing less.
