October 17, 2024 (Boston, MA) – Massachusetts lawmakers announced they reached a compromise on a climate bill after being unable to come to an agreement before the end of the formal legislative session earlier this year. Conservation Law Foundation released the following statement in response.
“For Massachusetts to truly be a leader on climate change, equitable siting reform and curbing the expansion and overspending in our gas system must be priorities for lawmakers,” said Caitlin Peale Sloan, Vice President of CLF Massachusetts. “We’re eager to see what is included in this bill and will continue to advocate for the necessary changes to slash climate-damaging pollution, meet our climate targets, and to ensure new clean energy infrastructure avoids burdening those of low- to moderate-income and communities of color.”
CLF experts are available for further comment.
