Federation Report: LEGISLATIVE
ALERTS: I
(Chuck Parker) as a Representative of the New York State Conservation Council
will receive various legislative alerts from the Council's office notifying
of upcoming meetings or pieces of legislation that are going to be addressed.
These alerts often request that comments be made in support or opposition
through (emails, written letters, phone calls on occasion). It is
important that more people get involved in this process. Usually when
these alerts are received they are fairly easy to respond to, as the contact
information of who that has to be contacted is included. I do not want to
send unwanted email to our membership but I would like to forward these alert
notices to those that would like to read them and possibly take responsive
actions when needed. If you or someone you know would be interested in
receiving these notices please contact me with your email address at aparker@twcny.rr.com
