Washington City Paper Covers the Mayors Proposed Budget Cuts!
My testimony at the hearing last week focused on the violation of public trust. How can the Council set up these special funds, fees, or taxes and get public approval because the funds go to a special purpose--clean up the Anacostia, renewable energy, Children's health.. And then turn around and move the money any which way. CM Cheh, called it a shell game and she was right.
Please call the Mayor and your Council member and tell them to restore funding to DC enviromental programs.
The solar renewable energy movement in the Washington DC metro area is very strong, but the process of going solar and getting proper credit for produced solar energy is a continual struggle. There are 12 neighborhood cooperatives are playing a big role in advocating for solar energy. These coops have joined together to form DC Solar United Neighborhoods (DC SUN). Mike Barrette and Anya Schoolman, of DC SUN use this blog to keep you informed of key issues. Visit www.dcsun.org for more info.
