PITTSFIELD, Mass. - s4story -- As the DEEP DIVE summit approaches on April 25, 2025, Veterans For Peace Chapter 186 is removing the curtain on the "PCB Update" panel a powerhouse trio of Lee, MA leaders known as the "Three Roberts". Held at the United Church of Christ in Pittsfield (1 PM – 4 PM),

DEEP DIVE features Robert Jones, Robert Heinzman, and Dr. Robert Wespiser - reprepresenting front line of municipal resistance against General Electric's plan to install a new toxic PCB dump in the Berkshires.

Fierce Advocate: Robert Jones Lee Selectman Robert Jones challenges the closed-door decisions defining the river's future. Jones says: "There was only about 20 to 23 people who made the decision for the tens of thousands of people in the River Corridor... They made the decision to have yet another toxic waste dump in Berkshire County... If I was in that room and they told me 'The people who put you in office can't know about this,' I would have gone running out of that room with my hair on fire even though I don't have any hair."
