Here is a response we've received from Senator Specter's office c/o Matt Kelly, his staff person. "Thanks for your emails regarding the two Lancaster County transportation projects currently included in H.R. 3074. I appreciate hearing from you on this and please feel free to contact me any time on this or other transportation-related issues affecting PA."

"I wanted to let you know that on the Senator's website there is a procedure for constituents to officially submit comments on all legislative issues. These get recorded, tallied and responded to. If you or others want to send in official correspondence this way (you can of course always use the mail as well, although this takes a little longer to reach us due to anthrax scanning), please visit this site and follow the instructions:

"...If there are others who want to submit comments on these projects, the website may be the best way because we can tally them and have an official record."
