In a recent letter Steven Cole suggested that Dan Wolf is, ‘an executive’ and that a senator could not be a representative if he or she was an executive. Any dictionary would tell Mr. Cole that executive means a person having administrative or supervisory authority of an organization. The issue of NStar’s spraying of toxic chemicals along the rights-of-way under our power lines and single source aquifer on Cape Cod was cited as an example of Wolf’s ‘hardline’ stance.
During the recent debate in Eastham, I heard Mr. Wolf mince no words about where he stood. He simply stated that in negotiating with NStar, and as a sound representative of Cape Cod, his negotiations would start with the premise that there would be no spraying of poisons on our sole source aquiver, period. His opponent, Ms. Lyons, a county commissioner, backslid by posing that this toxic spraying issue is ‘more complex’ and cited obstacles in law that need to be addressed and changed, as well as her understanding of this issue and even cited personalities. NStar is not a personality, but a huge corporation which has a long history, even under another corporate name (Commonwealth Electric), of ignoring the health and safety concerns of Cape Codders; for decades, who fully understand the issue of spraying toxic chemicals and its effects on our fragile sandy spit we all call home.
Last Wednesday, Dan Wolf joined State representatives Sarah Peake and Cleon Turner in supporting a call from GreenCAPE’s Sue Phelan for NStar to permanently end the use of toxic chemicals on power lines above Cape Cod’s sole source aquifer. These are actions taken by Mr. Wolf which are much louder then only words, and his business, Cape Air’s solar heated hangars in Hyannis have been cited as one of the greenest businesses not only on the Cape but in southeastern Massachusetts, which created over 500 jobs. His stance on this issue alone is truly representative of our community, a view that needs to be heard an acted upon in the State House. That’s why I am urging people to vote for Dan Wolf on September 14th, and most importantly come November 2nd. Circle your calendars now.

Aquiver? Really?
Also, didn't Lyons stop NStar from spraying while Wolf polluted our environment with his outdated planes? But good thing he displayed true courage by taking $22 million in taxpayer subsidies to build solar panels to offset his corporate office.
Lyons didn't stop the NStar spraying but the good people of Cape Cod tamed the shrew of big business poisoning. PS When was the last time you flew in a plane, Ms Anonymous?
I'm acquiver too, but if Mr. Wolf has created jobs for over 500 people on Cape Cod, don't they pay taxes? And why are you so against solar power which reduces our nation's dependence on blood oil, and the wars it still stirs across the world, in deep down in the Gulf of Mexico? You must be a BP booster, huh?
