Opposes Duke’s Pipeline
Supports Intervention Coalition
Comments
John Cranley (Mayor)
Mayor Cranley has consistently stood with the neighborhoods against this pipeline. In fact, he has been supportive of multiple resolutions Councilmember PG Sittenfeld has put out in opposition to the pipeline. We hope this is helpful and will consider voting for Mayor Cranley for re-election. — Mayor Cranley’s Campaign team

I am concerned about the safety threat the proposed pipeline poses to people, homes, our neighborhoods and the environment and I support efforts to stop it. I am a strong proponent of robust community engagement and appreciate this citizen led effort to oppose the pipeline.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read their application to understand what they are proposing/doing, but I will look into it further and develop a position on it. I have subscribed to your page, and will look forward to future updates and information from you. Thanks for reaching out!

I actually used to work for Duke Energy in real estate research. I become uncomfortable with some of work that I was asked to do because I felt it was precursor to potential pipeline work. While I wasn’t actually told this was the case, my instincts said the work I was doing vehemently was against my beliefs around social, economical and environmental justice. I will be a strong advocate against the proposed pipeline.

I have experience saying no to Duke. As a council member in 2011 I voted in favor of putting electricity aggregation for consumers on the ballot, which Duke vehemently opposed. We did it, citizens voted in favor and we have been saving money ever since.

I have been a strong opponent of the pipeline since the beginning, organizing and leading the opposition at the City of Cincinnati by sponsoring the legislation enabling intervention and allocating resources to the legal costs of opposition, convening municipal leaders across jurisdictions and speaking out publicly in the media and at hearings.
