Connecticut League of Conservation Voters

To Do List:  Solar. Wetlands. Rivers. Complete Streets.

Greetings!

The 2009 legislative session winds down on June 3, but we're still working to push several high priority environmental bills over the finish line.

We thought you might like to see a copy of today's message to Connecticut legislators.  We want them to know they still have important work to finish!
