Plea over Clyde fight
The Coalition for Open Government is seeking public financial support to continue its campaign against the Clyde high dam. The coalition has gone into debt to carry on the task of influencing members of Parliament on what it calls “a bad piece of legislation.” In a letter addressed to coalition supporters the coalition asks for regular contributions to its wage pool. “The situation is urgent and the campaign means
spending money. The Coalition for Open Government has gone into debt in the past to mount important campaigns. Now we are doing it again,” said the letter. It said that the coalition needed a continual flow of money to pay wages. Four pages of background on the Clyde dam were sent with each letter. The information was drawn from documents supplied to all members of Parliament by the coalition.
