After searching for Granby news at the Daily Hampshire Gazette, I came across an interesting tidbit. There will be a non-binding referendum question on greenhouse gas emissions. I’m supporting it because our state representative Ellen Story got it placed on her district’s ballot.

Here’s the text of the question:

The Secure Green Future Question

Shall the state representative from this district be instructed to vote in favor of legislation that:

reduces greenhouse gas emissions in Massachusetts by 80% by 2020, and

phases out tax incentives for energy-intensive projects, while expanding job creation programs for locally-owned businesses and cooperatives involved in renewable energy, conservation, and sustainable agriculture?
