Ready to Rally? Air Quality Advocates to Host Event Before Wednesday Allegheny County Council Meeting

Yinz ready to rally? We hope so. Because for months, residents have waited for a vote on crucial air quality permit fee schedule changes.

We need action on this proposal now.

A rally and press conference will be held in the Allegheny County Courthouse Courtyard to call for leadership transparency on this issue.

Here's what you need to know if you wanna go:

WHAT? Press conference and rally before the Allegheny County Council meeting.

WHEN? 4 p.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, May 21. We will walk to the Allegheny County Courthouse from PennFuture’s Office (at 200 First Ave, Pittsburgh PA 15222), where the rally and press conference will take place.

WHO? GASP Executive Director Patrick Campbell will be among six people to speak out on the need for a fully funded air quality program.

WHY? There has been too much confusion and controversy about what these fees are and why they are necessary. These fees are NOT fines. They are the cost the county needs to operate the air quality program and keep it running efficiently.

We hope to see you there!
