PEABODY — It was a unified plea for transparency and accountability at Wednesday night's public hearing on a new 'peaker' plant coming to Peabody.The hearing was held on the plant's CO2 emissions management plan at the Torigian Senior Center in Peabody by the Department of Environmental Protection. But that was only the surface of concerns public commenters scratched at the hearing.About 70 people attended in person or over Zoom, including State Rep. Sally Kerans, D-Danvers, Peabody City Councilor Stephanie Peach, Peabody Health Director Sharon Cameron, Wakefield Town Councilor Julie Smith-Galvin and others who spoke out against the project.
