Issue Position: On the Environment

Issue Position

We are stewards of our land and have an obligation to guard and protect it. If we don't, ultimately, it is not the land we destroy but ourselves. This requires long range planning. Future generations should be able to enjoy a walk on the beach and leave their footprints in the sand.

We are sensitive to specific environmental concerns. We are vulnerable to flooding because of storm surges, heavy rains and high tides. This is not going to go away and will likely worsen. It will serve us well if we can do what we can to prepare for this in advance rather waiting to do repairs in the aftermath. We need to think forward to solve problems instead of carrying a broom and dustpan in the wake of unfortunate events.
