CRWA ACTION ALERT
PARKLANDS AT RISK!

This week, the House and Senate conference committee will decide the fate of statewide environmental and parkland management!  CRWA urges you to make 4 calls or send 4 faxes THIS WEEK!  Make your position known by contacting the two chairs of the conference committee (Senator Therese Murray and Representative John Rogers) and your own state senator and representative. 

After rejecting Governor Romney's article 87 reorganization proposal last week, the legislature has taken the issue into their own hands.  Both chambers adopted some form of environmental agency reorganization in their budgets.  This week, the conference committee will select what parts from each version they will bring out for a vote.  CRWA supports the Senate's version, and we urge you to let the legislature know what you think.  Follow the link to our website for a detailed commentary on the proposals, a sample letter for inspiration, and the phone and fax numbers of the conference committee chairs and your representatives and senators.  Your opinion really does matter, and letters, faxes and calls do influence legislators, but you must act this week.  Thank you in advance!

For detailed information about the reorganization, contact information for your senators and much more please visit:  http://www.crwa.org/reorg/reorgmain060903.html
