Walt Gorman: FirstLight protesters should have been arrested

Published: 07-28-2023 4:57 PM

The protesters who call themselves Connecticut River Defenders are a menace. These activists should’ve been arrested for blocking tour buses from entering the Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage Station [“Protesters temporarily block tour bus,” Recorder, July 26]. They’re starved for attention, obviously, and certainly old enough to know better.

It’s unfortunate that the Recorder awarded these troublemakers with four color photos. As for the claim that millions of fish die every second in FirstLight’s turbines, I just don’t believe it.
