The deadline for co-sponsors to sign on to our CPA legislation has been extended to Wednesday, February 11, 2009. That means that if your legislators are not on the list of co-sponsors below, you have one more week to convince them to sign on.

We've made excellent progress, with 15 state Senators and 34 state Representatives signing on as co-sponsors to date. They include:

State Senators:
Stephen Brewer, Scott Brown, Stephen Buoniconti, Harriette Chandler, Cynthia Stone Creem, Kenneth Donnelly, Benjamin Downing, Jamie Eldridge, Susan Fargo, Jennifer Flanagan, Anthony Galluccio, Patricia Jehlen, Robert O'Leary, James Timilty and Susan Tucker.

State Representatives:
Geraldo Alicea, Cory Atkins, Will Brownsberger, Christine Canavan, Geraldine Creedon, Steven D'Amico, Carolyn Dykema, Denis Guyer, Kate Hogan, Jay Kaufman, Kay Khan, Peter Kocot, Stephen Kulik, Jason Lewis, Barbara L'Italien, Timothy Madden, James Miceli, James Murphy, James O'Day, Matthew Patrick, Sarah Peake, Alice Peisch, Jeffrey Perry, Michael Rodrigues, Rosemary Sandlin, John Scibak, Frank Smizik, Joyce Spiliotis, Ellen Story, Timothy Toomey, Cleon Turner, James Vallee, James Welch and Alice Wolf.

If they are not yet on the list, please contact your state Senator and Representative and ask them to co-sponsor "An Act to Sustain Community Preservation" filed by Senator Creem.

As you know, "An Act to Sustain Community Preservation" seeks to stabilize the statewide CPA Trust Fund and make other improvements to the Act. For more information, read the bill summary and text of the legislation, or call the Coalition at 617-367-8998.

We'll keep you updated as the bill progresses. As always, thank you for your support!
