Since Karen Maute’s proposed 25-mile uranium mining ban was defeated<\/a>, you’d hope that the topic was dead and buried, eh? Wrong. Tuesday night, Marshall Ecker will try and get the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors to pass a 20-mile ban. Second verse, same as the first.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the proposed resolution…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, my turn…<\/p>\n

Whereas<\/strong>, since the 25 mile ban was a stupid-ass idea, this 20-mile ban is a stupid-ass idea.<\/p>\n

Whereas<\/strong>, since the Dillon Rule would make this unconstitutional in about 3.71 seconds, this 20-mile ban is a stupid-ass idea.<\/p>\n

Whereas<\/strong>, since the anti-uranium doom-and-gloomers want to preemptively ban something that may turn out to be good, this 20-mile ban is a stupid-ass idea.<\/p>\n

Whereas<\/strong>, since Karen Maute lost before and should lose again, this 20-mile ban is a stupid-ass idea.<\/p>\n

Whereas<\/strong>, since Southside Concerened Citizens tries to intimidate through resolutions like this, this 20-mile ban is a stupid-ass idea.<\/p>\n

Be it hereby resolved<\/strong>, that the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors will soundly reject this stupid-ass idea and finally take a stand like Fred Ingram, who says that let’s see what an independent study says.<\/p>\n

Be it further resolved<\/strong>, that the anti-uranium mining people of the Southside Concerned Citizens quit using using Chicken-Little hyperbole to scare weak-minded people into believing that uranium mining will definitely destroy Southside Virginia for 82,174 years.<\/p>\n

Given under my hand today this 18th of January, 2010.<\/p>\n
