Franklin Kury, 89, has passed away. Kury was a PA legislator who authored PA's Green Amendment which became part of the state's constitution in 1971. He has left us with a tremendous platform on which we can work to ensure environmental rights for all. Today we honor and celebrate his life & legacy.
