fusclimate Mailing List: McCollum event and J. in the news

[Shannon Williams (sjc]

Hi everyone,

I'm going to tentatively plan to attend this event on October 21.  It sounds
like a good opportunity to learn about the new EPA rules, and depending on
what I learn, I can propose it as an action item at our next CCC meeting on
Nov. 14.

Hello,

 

J. asked me to send you more information at Congresswoman McCollum's climate
event. I also wanted to forward along two recent media pieces featuring J. 

 

J. was recently interviewed on WCCO which aired last night at 6pm (though
it's a bit brief), and a longer piece on AM950.
