Friends & Neighbors,

For the last week, we have held several town hall meetings across St. Louis County to discuss the ongoing threat of radioactive waste in Bridgeton and Coldwater Creek. We have had great turnout and participation as citizens came out to share their concerns and personal stories. It is obvious even without a smoldering, our residents are at risk.

If you have not yet been able to make one of our meetings, we will be holding four more meetings through the end of this week. I hope you are able to join the discussion. This issue affects all residents in the St. Louis region. I have included the time and location of each meeting with this announcement. 

Sincerely,

Maria Chappelle-Nadal
14th District
(573) 751-4106
