This year has been a good year for water so far. Basically nothing has moved - good or bad. I think legislators may be more interested in getting back home to run for office. Either way, it's an improvement from last year.
Thanks to all those folks who have called their legislators and told them what you think about clean water.

More good news
The developer's friend and clean water's enemy, Rep. Joe McCord (R) Maryville, who ironically is the current chair of the House Conservation and Environment Committee, is not planning to run again!

Does he have a shot?
