Key Topics:
How can we maintain environmental protection efforts and natural resources management when state government is facing a severe revenue shortfall?
What are the opportunities to reform state environmental and energy agencies through "sunset review"?
What can the Legislature do to move us "beyond coal" to cleaner energy solutions?
How will legislators address major water issues?
Will the legislature tackle the challenges to our state's transportation system?
And much more! Find out more here and sign up today!
Attend a Town Hall Meeting on our Environment in Texas
You have a once-in-a-decade opportunity to improve our state's environmental and public health agency! The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is undergoing a review process in which public comment is welcomed and encouraged. Communities throughout Texas will be hosting town halls on the "sunset review" of TCEQ to allow you and your neighbors to voice your comments, questions and concerns about the way our state environmental agency protects polluters and not the public. Here are the dates and locations:
Dallas-Fort Worth: Monday, November 8th, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m., The Sheraton Arlington (map)
San Antonio: Monday, November 8th, 6:00 - 8:30 p.m., San Antonio Central Library (map)
