Outreach to Committee on 
Environment, Energy & Natural Resources

Hi Friends of the Forest River Watershed. If you have a minute, here is an easy action that might help us get our concerns on the radar at the state level. 

I concluded a few months ago that our options in Salem are running thin. To that end, State Rep John Keenan said he would contact Rep. Frank Smizik, who is the House Chair of the Committee on Environment, Energy & Natural Resources. It would be good to make sure we're on their radar. Be sure to let John Keenan know we appreciate his thoroughness on this and encourage him to push for a wider review, moratorium or whatever.[See my July '06 letter to John.] The great thing about bringing it to this level is that now ANYONE IN THE STATE can contact these folks--please pass the word! If you can get a few people to contact him and others (in the Senate as well) I'll paste his contact info below along with others:

Frank Smizik, Chairman
Committee on Environment, Energy & Natural Resources
State House Room 473F 
Boston, MA 02133 
617-738-9838 
Frank.Smizik@verizon.net 

District Office 
42 Russell Street 
Brookline, MA 02446 
617-722-2210 
617-722-2239  fax
Rep.FrankSmizik@hou.state.ma.us 

We can use the postcards we already have--they're still relevant and I have plenty. I am making up packages. Your own text and concerns are even better, but any correspondence is helpful to drive the point home that we need a multi-jurisdictional, multi-site review and or moratorium that takes into account ALL recent and proposed projects: 

40B housing, dorms, parking lot, baseball field, tennis courts, 
residential developments, YMCA...as well as the concerns we already 
have, like accident hotspots at Loring & Monroe, Raymond&Lafayette, 
Fairview Rd & Lafayette, etc. 

Thanks & keep up the good fight. 

Use any of these research, articles, maps & documents if you find them helpful. Postcard templates are also available.
