Greene County Commissioner Dave Coder was elected President of the County
Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania at the organization's annual conference August 5-8 in York
County.
"This is an honor to serve my colleagues across the state," Coder said. "The association serves to
strengthen the ability of Pennsylvania's counties to govern their own affairs and improve the well-being
and quality of life for their constituents," said Coder. "To this end, the association effects the
achievement of favorable state legislation, programs and policies, and provides appropriate programs and

STOP THE TOWERS ~~ Allegheny Power plans to run a massive 240 mile 500
kilovolt power line through our communities in Washington and Greene Counties in Pennsylvania,
across northern West Virginia and into northern Virginia. The transmission towers could be up to
160 feet tall and the rights of way could be 200 feet wide. The lines will be engineered to be
capable of carrying 765 kilovolts, so that Allegheny Power could eventually upgrade to that voltage.
- Rep. Bill DeWeese is going to Washington, D.C. to testify on behalf or the "Stop the
Towers" outreach. Local efforts to stop the high voltage Trans-Allegheny Interstate
Line from passing through our region of the state have helped Bill secure an invitation to
testify before a congressional oversight committee next week. He will be testifying at 2 p.m.
on Wednesday, April 25, before the Subcommittee on Domestic Policy for the Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform, which is examining new federal authority for electric
transmission power line siting. Bill says he will make certain this panel knows that the
potential negative health impact on residents and damage to our community's quality-of-life,
not to mention the increase to our electricity bills with no benefit to us, clearly outweigh
Allegheny Energy's desire to satisfy the need for energy in other parts of the country.
- Several hundred of your neighbors have already signed Bill's online petition
(Click
