Local leaders met with the Governor earlier this week to continue to spread the message of the Clinton Power Plant and it's impact on our community.

Local leaders along with State Senator Chapin Rose and Representative Bill Mitchell were granted time with the Governor and Clinton City Administrator Tim Followell indicates they told the Governor what the power plant means to the community.

According to Followell, the Governor seemed very understanding of the challenges the Exelon Clinton Nuclear Power plant and others face.

Followell continues to encourage contacting not just lawmakers locally, but reach out to lawmakers in every part of the state to spread this message.

Followell says local lawmakers have been extremely pleased with the grassroots efforts to get the message out and they all say that needs to continue.
