The Pennsylvania Democratic Party’s State Committee, at its June 8 meeting, passed a resolution calling for

• improved pipeline leak detection and notification, and county-wide disaster response plans

• costs of the above to be borne by pipeline operators, not local taxpayers

• enhanced safeguarding of older pipelines

• enforcement of state and federal rules protecting people and the environment

• preventing the Mariner East pipeline from operating until the above conditions are met

• PA pipeline jobs to go to PA workers
