The Bay and our parks are at the heart of our community. Our economy and culture are all tied into the water. One of my first memories growing up, is going out on the boat and learning how to fish. I bet most people who grew up here have a similar experience.

We need to both invest in clean energy and take steps now to mitigate the impact of severe weather on our homes and businesses.
