Mayor slams power plant
By Kyle Alspach, Enterprise staff writer

BROCKTON — Mayor James Harrington now says he is opposed to the power plant, citing a scathing report on possible environmental impacts from the plant.

The report, commissioned by the mayor, says pollution from the proposed fossil fuel- and natural-gas-burning plant could have a serious effect on air quality and human health in the region.

Harrington said Friday he is “certainly not going to support” a project that could have a negative health impact for residents, and is urging state officials to reject the plant proposal.

But his opponent in the close mayoral race, Jass Stewart, called the comments a “political maneuver” to get votes, and accused the mayor of privately supporting the power plant.

The Enterprise reported last week that Harrington not only voted to support the power-plant proposal at the April 21 Century Corp. meeting, but made the motion to do so.
