Environmental Council of Rhode Island’s Lobby Days, Oct 28-29

Oct. 28, 2009 3:00pm and Oct. 29, 2009 2:00pm

The General Assembly made a good start on key environmental bills this year, but now they need to finish the job when they reconvene. The four bills below have already earned majority votes in both the House and Senate, but need final votes before being sent to the Governor. Join us at the State House to urge the General Assembly to get the job done.

The legislature plans to reconvene for two days.Environment Council leaders will be at the State House for those two days to help you connect with legislators to let them know these environmental bills are important to you.

RSVP to (401) 331-6972 or sdormody@cleanwater.org

Spread the word!

The attached half page announcement can be printed to share with friends, too.
