Hi everybody!!!

Messages like this keep me going....  Thanks Merry Jo.....  Your comment
about your local community government becoming "proactive" on behalf of
the people in the community ... rather than the "industry" forces ...
prompts me to ask:  Can you get them to do anything about the "big"
government in Washington???  If your Mayor, city councilmen, school
board members, etc., would get busy and "lean on" (lobby) your Washington
congressmen and senators ... it could do a lot of good!!!!!

Cheerio......

Just an update -- and we're claiming it as a big victory.  Our cellular
tower issue is now dead -- or at least on a long hold.  After the
information forums and public hearings, no providers responded to the bids.
 Mostly I don't think that the need is so great that they are willing to go
against public opinion.  And, the FCC/FDA joint statement about possible
interference caused our local hospitals to issue opinions that they were
unwilling to support towers too close to their equipment.  They are,
rightfully, taking a conservative position.  On the issue of placing towers
at schools, we have won hands down.  Our school board has withdrawn any
support to place towers on their properties.  I am certain that this issue
isn't over.  But, I hope and pray that we have arrived at the point where
our city government is going to be more pro-active in considering these in
the future.  Many, many thanks to everyone who help me with research and
words of support.  I quite literally could not have gotten up to speed
without having found this listserv and 'met' the wonderful people who
responded.
