Legislative committee leaders are getting to know the LSPA on Beacon Hill.
This week, the LSPA was pleased to be
invited by the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture to testify at an oversight hearing on landfills and solid waste. The LSPA was well represented by Dot McGlincy, Co-Chair of our Legislative Committee, who offered the LSPA's observations and fielded questions from committee co-chairs. We also submitted written
testimony.
Earlier in the day, Mike Penzo, LSPA President,
testified in favor of an extension of the Brownfields Tax Credit. And, last week, Dot McGlincy also
testified in opposition to a bill on the reuse of soil for reclamation projects.
(It's not that the LSPA doesn't support the use of soil for reclamation projects, it's that this bill was highly problematic).
We expect to return to "the Hill" next week for meetings with key legislative leaders. Stay tuned for more updates.
