Dear Mr. Boucher,

Thank you for your response to my earlier emails expressing my opposition to the proposed pipeline through Floyd County. Although it appears that you are addressing my concerns and have forwarded my letter to Dominion, I am concerned that you are not doing what the citizens of Virginia are requesting.

The rhetoric your letter contains actually sounds like you have accepted that the pipeline will go through Floyd and that Dominion should do as little damage as possible. The paragraph about the Floyd County School Board’s desire to be equipped with the best technology available through Dominion sounds like a bribe and I am not at all sure that the Board has expressed their acceptance of the proposed pipeline.

Mr. Boucher, you are being asked, as the representative of the 9^th district, to go on record opposing the proposed pipeline through Floyd. No fancy talk, just say NO.

Thank you for your time and I do expect you to represent the wishes of your constituents, not the priorities of a large corporation. There is absolutely no benefit to the citizens having this pipeline forced through Virginia.
