ENVIRONMENTAL BOND ACT of 2022

CLEAN WATER, CLEAN AIR, AND GREEN JOBS

There's an environmental bond act on the ballot on Nov. 8th We'll discuss the details - good and bad - with Paul Presendieu, a Board Director and Co-Chair of the Environmental Justice Forum of the New York State Association of Conservation Commissions (NYSACC) and Carli Fraccarolli, State Policy Coordinator for Scenic Hudson.

There has been a lot of effort of activists over the years to make a more environmentally sustainable world. It looks like maybe the NYS government is finally coming around. Have they heard us? Is it still corporate-focused? This is just one way to mitigate climate chaos. There is a ballot question on the November ballot, so look on the back or bottom of your New York ballot to make your choice.
