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.
