Will signing the Tax Agreement and the Decommissioning Agreement send the wrong message to other cities and towns?

No.  We have taken a very aggressive position against approval of this “polluting monster” at the EFSB and the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).  Any approval resolution will emphasize that the Town is vigorously opposing the issuance of a permit by the EFSB for the proposed power plant.  These agreements do not diminish in any way the Town’s commitment to fighting to kill the plant, and in fact, they increase the Town’s ability to properly fund such a fight.
