Mayor Carolyn Comitta
I enthusiastically support West Chester’s environmental Community Bill of Rights, which amends our Home Rule Charter and claims our constitutional right to clean air, clean water, and a sustainable energy future.
This amendment articulates a community value that has been established through visioning sessions and local actions for more than a decade in West Chester: A healthy and sustainable future.
Environmental threats are growing. They are significant. Part of the solution lies in restoring the balance between excessive corporate rights and citizen rights. This balance has been inverted by a system of law that is overly influenced by powerful special interests.
By voting YES! to the Community Bill of Rights this Tuesday, we stand together to protect our community from significant environmental harm for the benefit of all residents, families and small business owners in the Borough of West Chester.
