CSAC follows many important issues throughout the year, and the Legislative season has its ebbs and flows. Now, with the Legislature out of session and the Governor done with his annual ritual of signings and vetoes, there is time to offer a more in-depth look at three issues that remain at the top of our priority list and that we have been addressing with a more comprehensive effort.
For Transportation Funding, Tree Mortality and Homelessness, we have been advocating at the Capitol and with various state agencies. But we have also used our blog, social and traditional media, video, webinars, the CSAC Institute and regional meetings to enhance our advocacy efforts. We thought you might enjoy the opportunity to review some of that material.
(This material is also available on the CSAC website.)
