On Tuesday, March 21st Senator Julian Cyr (D-Truro) joined Representative Sarah Peake (D-Provincetown), Representative Randy Hunt (R-Sandwich), Representative Tim Whelan (R-Dennis), Representative David Vieira (R-Falmouth), Representative Dylan Fernandes (D-Falmouth), Representative Will Crocker (R-Barnstable), and Representative James Cantwell (D-Marshfield) in calling for the immediate shut down of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. 

The statement, read aloud by Representative Peake and Representative Hunt, compared the behavior of Pilgrim’s operators to “extending the middle finger to the NRC, the surrounding Plymouth community, and to all that are affected by their poor operating standards. That includes our constituents and most residents of Massachusetts.”
