Hello Green Mass Groupies! This is Dan Hill, and I’m running for the open seat in the state senate, vacated by Anthony Galluccio. I will probably be the most progressive candidate in this race on environmental policy issues. I have been practicing environmental and land use law for 10 years in Massachusetts, mainly representing municipalities and citizens groups. I have been disappointed in the leadership on the state level to effectuate the kind of policy changes we need to achieve true sustainability. In this campaign I am calling for adoption of DEP’s proposed “general stormwater permit” regulations as statutory law. We also need to ensure passage of the Sustainable Water Resources Act and CPA II during this legislative term. And I want to see Massachusetts be the leader in clean energy innovation and development – I am proposing a state-wide innovation incubator program to facilitate growth in this “new economy” sector. I’m looking forward to raising these issues during the campaign, and participating further on this blog. Folks can reach me on my website: www.danhill2010.com.

Good luck Dan,

Had a look at your site and did a bit of background reading .. and can say, albeit from the perspective of a rival party, that I wish you well in your campaign.
…And that if things don’t quite work out for you with the Democrats, as seems to be the case for a growing number of folks who share some of your convictions, it looks to me as though you might very well find a home with the GRP.
But in the meantime, appreciate your stopping by. No reason you shouldn’t come trawling for votes, but with your grasp of state environmental issues, I think this forum might be a good place for you to share some of your knowledge and experience with what I think would be a very receptive audience (and a pretty smart and informed one, so expect debate)–so please, win or lose, consider making this a space a regular haunt.
Best wishes,
michael
