Scenic Hudson is taking the campaign to stop St. Lawrence Cement to all reaches of the Northeast. As a result of our outreach to public officials, leading newspapers and health advocates from Manhattan to Maine, they are now calling on Gov. Pataki to deny this project.

These leading Northeast papers have added their voices to the chorus of doctors, engineers, scholars, business experts, neighboring state environmental officials, elected officials and thousands of local residents who believe the proposed SLC plant should not be built in the Hudson Valley.

"The fact is that ... [the proposed SLC plant, if built] will ... contribute to Maine's inability to meet federal air quality standards." - Portland Press Herald (12/16/03)

"Mr. Rowland and Mr. Pataki support efforts to clean up Midwestern power plants that spew out toxic pollutants that drift eastward over New York and New England. It would be ironic if they sat by while a more immediate threat rose in their own backyard on the banks of the Hudson River." - The Hartford Courant (12/11/03)

"All these years of being friendly to New Yorkers who come here for vacation and in exchange Maine is sent a lot of gaseous air laden with pollution. Not neighborly; not at all." - Bangor Daily News (12/9/03)

"The plant would be an eyesore on the Hudson and a regional polluter. The New England states, including Connecticut, should protest strongly against having the waste from a neighboring state blown here." - New Haven Register (11/28/03)

"The St. Lawrence cement plant would unleash a plume of pollutants endangering everyone downwind, including residents of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine." - The New York Times (11/18/03)

"A facility like this should not even be considered in a state that is leading a Northeastern coalition to counter global warming." - The Boston Globe (11/16/03)

Meryl Streep, shown with Scenic Hudson president Ned Sullivan, is a staunch opponent of the proposed St. Lawrence Cement plant.
