NARC Calls for Regional Support in Senate Climate Change Bill
The National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) sent letters to the Senate today extending its appreciation for the commendable work on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008 (S 3036), which is currently being debated on the Senate floor. In the letter, NARC respectfully submitted and called the Senate’s attention to specific recommendations for consideration in the debate of S 3036. Substantively, NARC strongly urged that the bill include more incentives and resources to local governments with direct funding to and opportunities for multi-jurisdictional regions and regional planning organizations (regional councils, councils of governments and metropolitan planning organizations) which play a critical role in transportation, land use and environmental planning that impact regional, local, state and national environmental health, economic competitiveness, workforce development, and overall quality of life. Along with the letter, NARC sent a sampling of regional organization climate change efforts.
