Please speak for the trees today!

ACTION NEEDED on Bill No. 68-19

AAC Council has been struggling with a piece of legislation that will help protect our trees.   Developers are fighting this every step of the way.   Environmentalists are fighting to strengthen it or at least use it as a starting point.  The deforestation in our county is shameful and devastating.

Public hearings were held a few weeks ago and a few of our huddle members spoke.  The council is scheduled to vote Monday October 21.  Amendments  are being proposed to weaken the bill.

Please call and/or email your council member and other council members between now & Monday to let them know that you support the original bill – #68-19.

Amanda Fiedler represents District 5 where many of us live.   Amanda was endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters but hasn’t supported any legislation that would help the environment.
