They all came for one reason - to press their legislators for a green jobs and energy efficiency bill that would put people to work weatherizing tens of thousands of homes across Washington State.
These ordinary-folk lobbyists prevailed.No publisherBarbara GradyState Spotlight2009-07-02T21:03:40ZBlog Entryhttp://www.greenforall.org/blog/a-victory-for-the-people-of-washington-stateDenver green jobs meeting with Green For All aids local efforts http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GreenForAllBlog/~3/S33JrjdvZF4/denver-green-jobs-meeting-with-green-for-all-aids-local-efforts When the Colorado Environmental Coalition (CEC) heard the rumblings of the green jobs movement beginning in the Denver area, they called on Green For All to facilitate a roundtable discussion on opportunities in Colorado.
