Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump's next scheduled public event is a rally in Montana on Friday.
''The Avengers' actor and high-profile environmentalist Mark Ruffalo is highlighting a letter from Pennsylvanians and grassroots environmental groups that urges Vice President Kamala Harris to remove Gov. Josh Shapiro from consideration to be her running mate in a post on X Friday evening, citing what the residents call Shapiro's 'detrimental' handling of a contaminated water crisis in Dimock, Pa. when he was state attorney general.
'The Governor and his Administration have been working aggressively to make good on these commitments and continue delivering for the people of Dimock,' wrote Manuel Bonder, a Shapiro spokesperson, in a statement. 'Governor Shapiro will never forget the people of Dimock – and he has been working diligently alongside the Public Utilities Commission to ensure the public water line he secured gets built as quickly as possible.
A year after pleading no contest, Cottera won permission to frack and drill in the rural Susquehanna County community once again, but in a deal with the commonwealth must monitor drinking water near any gas wells. During the course of the settlement, the letter says, staff in the AG's office communicated with Dimock residents to use a water filtration system, which residents pushed back on, saying that it would not be effective to remove the severity of the chemicals in the community's water. Eventually, the AG's team negotiated the creation of the water pipeline that would be supplemented in the meantime by plentiful water deliveries.
