We had an OK turn out. Problem is that a very small number of Pilsen and Little Village Latino Residents were present. I don't know if it was due to poor planning or lack of interest. Maybe the people just don't want to rock the boat. A lot of immigrants live in the community. I think that closing down the plant is unrealistic. Perhaps if they could assist them into a TRANSITION into green energy. I can't stand the pollution, but perhaps a less "butting heads" type of approach can be useful.
