Time Sensitive: Act before Friday March 10 @ 11 am

Next Environment Committee Hearing: Friday, March 10!

The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters urges all environmentally-minded residents across the state to contact the Environment Committee in support of a batch of good environmental bills and to oppose two bear hunting bills.

Many of the bills on CTLCV's Environmental Watchlist have had a public hearing and been voted out of committee. But many more are pending.

You have another opportunity to help persuade lawmakers to keep good bills moving and stop the bad ones!

The General Assembly's Environment Committee will hold a PUBLIC HEARING this Friday, March 10 at 11:30 AM in Room 2B of the LOB
