This is a BFD - Iâm honored to have the endorsement of @bridgetmfleming - sheâs a deeply respected Suffolk County legislator and ran a strong race for Congress in â22. Weâll build on that effort with her help and finally flip this seat from red to blue!
Thanks to Matt Cohen and the #LIA for the opportunity to discuss #PropelNY and LIPA's clean energy transition. For a deeper dive into our sustainability vision, check out LIPA's Integrated Resource Plan at: flipsnack.com/lipower/2023-iâŠ
Suffolk County is already feeling the effects of polluted water, but the Suffolk County Legislature Republican Majority still put politics over people and refused us the right to vote for clean water funding.
Sign our petition condemning the decision to deny us clean water here:
Waterways, rated âpoorâ and âfair.â Gobler: water quality at âan all-time low.â Just as the bad news was coming out, the County Legislature failed to put Water Quality on the Nov. 7 ballot.
âWe hope voters remember this in the coming November election.â easthamptonstar.com/editoriaâŠ
A major water quality fix was killed last week for politics and in clear disregard for public health.
The Suffolk Legislature's Republican majority has dirty hands. newsday.com/opinion/editoriaâŠ
Meanwhile Suffolk Republicans kill the water quality plan which is the one lever we can pull to restore coastal resources in the face of climate change per Dr. Gobler. O/h from Râs at the horseshoe: âNot a problem. âItâs only July. The voters wonât remember come November.â
MAGA Republicans are pouring fuel on the climate crisis fire.
ALT Five headlines on top read: âThe Washington Post: Phoenix hits record for 19th day of 110 degrees in a row - with more aheadâ; âCNN: â39-day heat wave could last into August after smashing 2,300-plus recordsâ; âCNBC: 'We are in uncharted territory:
World records hottest day ever for the third time in just four daysâ; âForbes: âJuly 4 Was Earth's Hottest Day In Over 100,000 Years-Breaking Record For 2nd Day in a rowâ; âCBS: NOAA: Earth just had the hottest
June on record.â Bottom text reads: âThe climate crisis is here. That's why President Biden passed historic clean energy investments that will grow the economy and help fight climate change. Every MAGA Republican in Congress voted NO.â
Suffolkâs historic wastewater plan is set to be torpedoed by the Legislatureâs majority purely for political gain. Will we ever get back to a place where local government works in the best interest of our communities? ⊠newsday.com/long-island/suffâŠ
