LCC Talks Water in Washington
LCC Executive Director Lori Fisher traveled to Capitol Hill to stress the need for sustained national investment in our waterways.
Earlier this month, LCC Executive Director Lori Fisher teamed up on Capitol Hill with water advocates from across the country. In meetings with policy makers and legislative staff, she and water partners from Galveston Bay to Long Island Sound stressed the need for sustained national investment in our waterways. The gathering was part of the annual meeting the America's Great Waters Coalition. The Coalition was formed in 2009 and is an alliance of national, regional and state organizations working to protect and restore the waterways that are the lifeblood of our country and our economy. During the DC trip Lori also met with the offices of Senator Leahy, Senator Sanders, Congressman Welch and others to discuss a host of lake issues including funding, flood resiliency, infrastructure needs, and the Champlain Canal.
