Updates on the hearings for Citizen Board and Uranium Mining
Nothing is ever set in stone at the General Assembly.  The Senate Ag Committee has postponed the Citizen Board question that was to be heard Monday morning.  However, the House of Delegate's Agriculture and Natural Resources subcommittee has docketed the Citizen Board question for Wednesday, 30 January, for the evening session. 

The Uranium Mining bill is still scheduled for Monday, 28 January, in the morning--early. 

I'll be leaving to drive up to Richmond for the hearing Monday at 0500.  Still have a seat left in the carpool.  No idea when we will return, but suspect it will be early afternoon, unless they do something funny with the time. If they push it back, I will want to stay. 

I'm also planning to drive up Wednesday afternoon for the evening session on the Citizen Board bill in the House of Delegates.  I'm taking carpool reservations for that trip now.

We are environmentalists, but we're not just "environmentalists." We are also citizens and we are ratepayers; we are customers and employers; we are business owners and educators; we are members of communities of faith who take seriously our stewardship of God's gift and we are patriots who care about energy independence for the nation; we are parents and grandparents concerned about the sustainability of the legacy we leave our children, who all just happen to also care about our environment.

Looks like we need a meta-bill. (jsrutstein - 1/27/2008 9:06:43 AM)
There has to be a reasonable middle-ground between flexibility in scheduling hearings and votes and making sure citizens can monitor our elected representatives and hold them accountable. You have my admiration and thanks for staying on top of this.
