Is your legislator protecting our AIR & WATER?
Some Raleigh legislators don’t think Western North Carolina should be allowed to keep protecting its clean air and clean water. The North Carolina General Assembly introduces and passes several bills each year that impact the quality of life in Western North Carolina. A new tool, the nonpartisan website WNC Vote Tracker, provides transparency on legislation affecting residents in 20 Western North Carolina counties. Visit wncvotetracker.org and select “Environment” to see how YOUR legislator voted on the environment in 2013. If you’re unhappy about the legislature’s actions this session, please write a letter to the editor for your local paper. Legislators need to hear from you if things are to change!
