SPLIT THE BILL!

Yesterday the Brownfield Taskforce along with the local Delegation decided that the brownfield bill that we are all behind needs to be more straightforward. As a result the bill has been broken into two pieces. The first bill contains the financing piece that will pay for staff & administration and the actual funding of sites. The second part of the bill contains the recommendations of the Tasks Force which entails organizational coordination, incentives and the funding programs.

The reason for this decision is because the initial bill was so large and detailed there was fear that it might kill the legislation or spoil the efforts. Simplifying the bill can only help at this point. As I find out more information I will post a BLOG. Please feel free to post comments about this latest news.
