Senators Markey and Warren & Congressman Lynch Submit Comments

Congressman Lynch, Senator Warren, and Senator Markey sent a letter to MassDEP in opposition to the proposed Air Quality Plan. We thank them for their support and encourage Gov. Baker to follow their lead.

It's also important to recognize the folks in the community who continuously call, email, and visit our state reps and urge them to speak out. Weymouth resident, Wendy, pushed hard to get Lynch, Warren, and Markey to submit comments on this matter and we thank her for her dedicated efforts!
