Louisiana Legislature Early Update, Sign up for Legislative Action List
The
Delta Chapter of the Sierra Club works at a statewide level on issues
of concerns to Sierra Club members in Louisiana. Chapter Chair Woody
Martin coordinates our mother chapter's Legislative Action Team to bring
some environmental progress-minded citizen advocacy to Baton Rouge. The Chapter's L.A.T. also is attentive to regulatory issues held in
public hearing by the executive agencies of government, as well as the
Public Service Commission which regulates utilities here in the State. As Sierra Club members here in the Capital of Louisiana region, you have a special power through proximity to take a lead on speaking up for us all!
To get
involved in the very important work of this volunteer team during what
will be the most important legislative sessions in decades, visit the

Dan
Collins will share his story about the dredging of Bayou Postillion and
why he felt compelled to file a "whistleblower" suit against the Louisiana Dept. of Natural Resources over
the issue, which he won late last year. Collins will tell us all about it from his perspective during our February meeting at the Backpacker on Wednesday February 24. Program begins at 7:00 pm.
