VALUE AWARENESS
ASKED AROUND TOWN
Are you concerned about the natural gas pipelines near Pleasanton that PG&E says may be at risk? Diane Joaquin-Romero Dental Hygienist Yes. I think there should be more investigation of the existing pipelines. It was reported that the residents of San Bruno smelled gas fumes prior to the explosion, and that makes me wonder if it might have been prevented. As customers of PG&E, we want to be protected.

Student The possibility of an explosion here like the one in San Bruno does worry me. I think the pipeline should be fixed right away.

Rich Marpoglio Retired I’m not overly concerned, but the age of the pipelines does bother me. They haven’t been maintained properly for many years, and it could pose a risk. In general, I’m not that worried, though I do believe they should be examined.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been a problem solver. I believe Pleasanton needs strong leadership and a strong experience base in both business and community leadership when it comes to solving the complex ďŹ nancial, job retention, job creation, infrastructure and quality of life issues facing this community going forward.
Tim Waters Manager Yes, I am concerned. The age of the infrastructure indicates that it needs to be thoroughly checked out.
Mazella Singer for The Black Pearl Project I am worried because the aging infrastructure of this country needs to be addressed and considered a priority. The disaster did raise concerns for me, though the pipelines arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only things that need to be maintained. Our entire infrastructure should be examined and repaired when necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Compiled by Kerry Nally Have a Streetwise question?
