Letter: Save Albany Hill from a Cell Tower

[Editor's Note: Albany Patch would love your 300-word letters to the editor. .]

Our community is facing a major choice right now as the City Council begins plans to , including Albany Hill, in return for money. Will we allow the monarch businesses to crush the monarch butterflies? Will we serve the God of mammon or the God of creation? Putting a cell tower on Albany Hill is like crucifying nature for a handful of silver. It is Albany Hill beauty or corporation profit, and we the people must cry out, “Save Albany Hill!”

If not, we will have sold out the last green hill on the coast of the East Bay for a fistful of dollars. This is a question of values: is money more important than our environment? Will we sacrifice beauty for bounty? Putting a cell tower on Albany Hill will drive a stake through the heart of our community. This must not happen. We must end the effort to destroy Albany Hill before it destroys us. To our city council, to ATT and anyone else who wants to put a cell tower on Albany Hill, we the people of Albany say “No! Save Albany Hill!”
