The US District court filings are jaw dropping, especially the #CambridgeMA response to the Enbridge complaint, where they point out the “fatal flaw” of leaving #LincolnMA off the defendant/parties list even though it had & has legal standing.

@dynamic Anyone and everyone! Most impacted are #CambridgeMA & #LincolnMA residents, but this being a state issue (clearcut on #MA fish & wildlife designated “Priority Habitat of Rare Species”), all have an interest and should call/email.

urgent call-in campaign! Enbridge, #LincolnMA Conservation Director, & #CambridgeMA water dept scheduled a "site visit" of the Lincoln forest. The site visit is the last step before construction. The site visit has been scheduled, but the date of it is not disclosed.

PLEASE call/email - demand the site visit be public, & that it be delayed so that there can be public participation:

Lincoln Conservation Dept:
781-259-2703, [email protected]
Cambridge Water Dept: 617-349-4770

There may be a secret meeting in #LincolnMA this morning with Enbridge & #cambridgema to discuss the planned ecocide in the Hobbs Brook headwaters of Cambridge’s drinking water supply. If it happens I’ll be livestreaming it here: https://www.facebook.com/share/zWSD7CvyMv9BBmPJ/?mibextid=LQQJ4d

#cambridgema #lincolnma muni staff have an as-yet unscheduled “closed” meeting with Enbridge at the publicly owned, publicly accessible site of Enbridge’s planned clearcut in the headwaters of Cambridge’s drinking water supply, on Priority Habitat of Rare Species as designated by #masswildlife. There’s been 0 public meetings on any of this; all behind closed doors.

The original story was broken on @universalhub with additional reporting on @cambridgeday

#Enbridge is a terrible neighbor.
#LincolnMA just found out.
Enbridge purports to be a good neighbor but sure showed contempt for #lincolnma
#LincolnMA was subjected to hostile corporate bullying by the likes of Enbridge, with its blindsiding order to obey or else, with the added insult of acting as if Lincoln has never had legal standing in the suit, on its own conservation easement, and thus must comply with less than 48 hour "emergency" notice of being given the agreement to sign. I'm not a lawyer but even I can see the procedural gaps. But maybe I have it all wrong and this isn't a #MiscarriageOfJustice. @universalhub .
@universalhub it’s not #lincolnma con com that should be the focus of outrage but rather who put them in that situation that should be the focus. Lincoln Con Com was thrown under the bus.
