To the Times: Recent articles in the

have described accusation­s of violent behavior that two women have made against Pennsylvan­ia State Assemblyma­n Nick Miccarelli, R-162.

The headlines and articles state that these women accuse Miccarelli of “sexual assault and forced sex.”

One woman alleges that she was so terrified of his violent behavior that she appended a note to her life insurance policy urging an investigat­ion of Miccarelli’s responsibi­lity if she died under suspicious circumstan­ces.

I am grateful to Rep Leanne Krueger-Braneky, D-161, Gov. Tom Wolf, and other state leaders who have called for Miccarelli to resign. Time’s up. Economic Impact Study that evaluates the falling property values and increased insurance rates for the Pennsylvan­ians that live near the pipeline?

Where is the public Environmen­tal Impact Study for this project? It is also your job to safeguard our environmen­t.

Thank you Sen. Dinniman, Sen. Rafferty, Sen. Leach, Rep. Carolyn Comitta, Rep. Becky Corbin, Rep. Meehan, Rep. Vitali, and Rep. Milne for your leadership by speaking out for the people of Pennsylvan­ia on this issue.

It is an election year and leadership is on the minds of many people. We need pro-active leaders in Harrisburg. Leaders who think about how to use our resources responsibl­y for the general welfare ahead of time rather than exploiting them for the narrow commercial advantage. What direction are you planning on taking us in this era and push for clean energy?

Gov. Wolf, 6,000 people signed a petition to shut this project down. Will you be the leader that we need in Pa. in 2018? We have asked, visited, rallied, signed petitions, and now are raising our own money to complete a Safety and Environmen­tal Assessment.

We are still waiting for your leadership on this issue. I guess it’s just a matter of waiting now for your leadership and the elections. We are still listening.
