ERIE COKE CORPORATION’S “FLAGRANT DISREGARD” OF ENVIRONMENT SPURS GREEN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA TO CALL FOR TEMPORARY INJUNCTION TO CLOSE PLANT
On March 10, Erie residents were horrified by the release of a noxious cloud of coke oven gases and fine black particles as it spread across the city in an industrial “upset” from the beleaguered eastside Erie Coke Corporation.
If this situation were not bad enough, Erie Coke’s revelation in the past month that it has spewed toxic pollutants not previously measured by either the EPA or DEP was described by Freda Tarbell, the DEP’s spokesperson, as “documentation that DEP and EPA didn’t have earlier.”
Just a reminder, the regular monthly membership meeting will be:
Thursday, March 25, 6:30 PM
at LAVA, 4134 Lancaster Avenue
All registered Green Party members and other interested folks are welcome.
Agenda will include:
- updates on Hugh Giordano’s campaign for state representative
- statewide petitioning to get U.S. Senate candidate Mel Packer on the ballot
- Earth Day demonstration at the DEP Office in Norristown
- Singapore Dinner with Jay Sweeney about Marcellus Shale on April 10.

Giordano Kick-Off a Huge Success
Campaign off to an excellent start
Philadelphia, PA – Friday night, friends and supporters packed into the Holy Smoke Bar and Restaurant to help kick off Hugh Giordano’s campaign for State Representative. Giordano, the Green Party candidate, told the crowd why he should be the 194th District’s next Representative in Harrisburg.
“I care about working people and will fight for workers’ rights,” said Giordano. “I have seen three generations of poverty living in the same house – that’s almost 90 years of poverty among hard-working people, people who worked in factories and never took a dime from the system. There’s something wrong with that picture,” said Giordano.
