The Arlington legislative delegation joined its colleagues in passing legislation that overhauls the state s climate laws, aims to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, hopes to create clean-energy jobs and strives to promote environmental justice in communities.
Voting to back the measure were Sen. Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington), Reps. Dave Rogers (D-Cambridge) and Sean Garballey (D-Arlington).
Subscribe I am pleased that the Massachusetts Legislature took this major step forward and solidified its commitment to protecting our environment, Friedman said in a Jan. 11 news release. I am particularly proud that this legislation includes language I fought for during the Senate amendment process that would achieve emissions reductions equitably and in a manner that protects low- and moderate-income persons and environmental-justice populations when the state is developing regulations to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in our communities.
