Letter Writing Campaign / Yard and Window Signage

Praxair’s appeal hearing for a building permit is set for November 10th at 1:00 pm in room 208 at City Hall. If you are planning on attending please drop an email to praxairtaskforce@yahoo.com so we can keep a head count.


Also, we need to start the letter writing campaign immediately! Do not feel as if you have to write a long letter with lots of details, a short concise letter will be just as effective. You may wish to address any safety concerns you have about Praxair rebuilding and/or reoccupying their current location. Please feel free to address any concerns to damage done to property or persons. The primary person to send mail to is:

Hello All,

I understand that all of you in the district surrounding Prax are concerned about "living next to a bomb."

However, Prax, and so many other companies in your nearby area store flammable products, such as Cee Kay, Airgas, AB, Laclede, and even U-Haul on Kingshighway has enough propane to possibly wreak havoc onto highway 44, only 200 feet away.

If you choose to live next to flammable storage/delivery facilities, expect the worst, from time to time.

I have inspected such facilities, and find them to be very safe, despite the unfortunate, occasional circumstance we witnessed this year at Prax.

Such local gas companies provide a valuable resource to our manufacturing economy in St. Louis, they will be there long after we are gone, so adjust yourselves accordingly.

Before anyone moans, this is not a Republican or Democrat speaking on behalf of "big business."

You live near bombs. If that terrifies you, I suggest living in the county, home of meth labs and large amounts of propane supervised by less than experienced people. Good luck.
