Update on the Environment and Public Works Committee; By: Travis Russell and Will Merritt

Environment and Public Works Committee meeting #1:

On Friday, this committee originally wanted to combine the Clean Estuaries Act of 2010 and Green Infrastructure for Clean Water Act of 2010 bills in order to appeal to more people on a broader base. After some discussion Barbara Boxer, chair of the committee, concluded that each bill should remain separate. The remainder of the meeting involved discussions amending the Clean Estuaries Bill and removing any repetitive information. Check later for updates on this committee's results..
