FYI update on the clean boating act

[Ross]

I received this Email from Senator milkulski today: Dear Mr. Hill:  Knowing of your concerns about the Clean Boating Act of 2008 (S. 2766), I would like to update you on my recent actions regarding this legislation.   You will be happy to know that I am a cosponsor of this important bill. S. 2766 would exempt recreational boats from a potentially burdensome environmental permit process. I know recreational boaters care about the health of the Chesapeake Bay and all of Maryland 's waterways, as do I. But these boaters do not need to be subjected to a new permitting process.  This legislation is currently pending in the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Knowing of your support for this bill will be helpful to me.  Thank you for allowing me to update you on my efforts. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you in the future. Sincerely, Barbara A. MikulskiUnited States Senator P.S. If I can be of further assistance in the future,please visit my website at http://mikulski.senate.govor call my Washington D.C. office at 202-224-4654

I called both

Senators Jim Webb and John Warner, both of Virginia and let it be known that we would appreciate their support of the bill. I have talked with a lot of people that I know in the boating community and given them the phone numbers and asked them to call and request support of the bill. Hopefully it will help. thanks for the reminder; I had read about it in the BoatUS publication but failed to act on it, so you helped me remember. thanks again
