WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2005. By John F. Bailey. October 2, 2005: Mayor Joseph Delfino in personal letter to WPCNR has denied ever being asked to sign a global warming policy statement, and denied any knowledge of ever being contacted to sign it. Candidate for Mayor, Dennis Power, in a news release this week, criticised the Mayor's record on the enviroment and chided the Mayor on not signing the agreement.

Dennis Power, when contacted by WPCNR for an explanation of why his release said the Mayor did not "participate," and what his source was for reporting such an accusation, said he drew it from The New York Times report of August 25 and by his own "backtracking" through CleanAirClean Planet's  past website in which he found copy saying the Mayor did not participate. Power wrote the Mayor did not sign the CleanAir Clean Planet pledge letter. 

 WPCNR asked Mr. Power to find who at CleanAir asked the Mayor "to participate" and "to sign" the document and what CleanAir's motivation was for reporting the Mayor was not participating.

Mr. Power said he was working on that and would get back to WPCNR.
