Mass Government Climate
The impacts of climate change are undeniable. Our goal in Massachusetts is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero and to do this in a manner that does not overburden any segment of the population.

The Next Generation Roadmap bill promises to do so. The program will cover:
  • Climate efforts in Massachusetts to date and the need to up the pace;
  • What distinguishes the Next-Generation bill; and
  • What additional steps are necessary to assure progress toward achieving the Commonwealth’s emissions goal and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Panelists Senator Michael Barrett, Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy and Representative Tommy Vitolo, a proponent of Brookline’s proposal to restrict natural gas or oil uses in new construction will present and answer questions from the audience.
Presented by Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts.

This spring, Town Meeting will vote on the Home Rule for Clean Heat Article 29 that petitions the State to allow Lexington to regulate fossil fuel infrastructure in new construction and gut rehab renovations. This is an important step toward the Town’s goal of ending greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.
On March 21 we will have a "Question and Answer" session about Article 29 for Town Meeting members, residents, builders, and realtors. The session will answer "What Does Article 29 Do and What Doesn't It Do?", "Top Five Questions about Article 29" and we will answer participants' questions.
