Issue Position

As a member of the legislatures Environment committee, I have worked hard for a common sense approach to protecting our environment. I am proud to have worked on legislation to ensure the proper disposal of pharmaceuticals to keep our water supply safe and clean, not to mention remove them from homes as a potential danger to children. I have also worked on legislation to properly staff our state parks, help identify chemicals of concern to children, set aside open space, and was very involved in the effort to reduce the liability of municipalities with regard to open space. This translates into less nuisance lawsuits and better use and care of our natural surroundings.
