HotList 02/12/2013

Dear Members,

I want to welcome you to the first HotList of the 2013 Long Session. The HotList is a weekly email the North Carolina League of Conservation Voters (NCLCV) sends out during session where we talk about relevant legislation and share information on key environmental issues as they come before the General Assembly.

For more than 40 years, NCLCV has worked to turn environmental values into North Carolina priorities. We believe that voting is the most important thing you can do for the environment. We also publish an annual scorecard that highlights some of the more important environmental votes from the session.

No time was wasted once session gaveled in. One of the bills that first caught our eye is the SB 10, Government Reorganization and Efficiency Act. NCLCV opposes this bill and it will be the first Scorecard vote for the 2013 session.

This is an unprecedented power grab that is not needed. In the past the General Assembly has addressed commission membership, changed term limits, and changed the number of members on an individual basis. A wholesale replacement on any board or commission disturbs the institutional knowledge, experience and memory of these boards and commissions designed to represent a variety of stakeholders and technical expertise. This maneuver will result in a difficult transition that will only serve to harm the citizens of North Carolina.

We are asking members to please oppose SB 10.

That’s about all for this week. Be on the lookout for the weekly HotList, and please let me know if you have any comments or concerns.

Best,

Dan Crawford | dan@nclcv.org
