Guest Commentary: Boise's progress on climate must continue | Guest Opinion | idahopress.com
Boise mayoral candidate Mike Masterson wants to slow down Boise’s progress on climate and clean energy at a time when we have seen record high temperatures, dwindling water resources, and worsening air quality.
As the Executive Director of Conservation Voters for Idaho, I reject any call to be less ambitious in addressing Boise’s public health, safety, sustainability, and economic success. At Conservation Voters for Idaho, we are striving to build a clean and healthy Idaho that is cherished and enjoyed by all, championed and protected by Idaho’s elected leaders, and sustained by a fully representative democracy.
