Senator Bruce Tarr
Room 313-A
State House
Boston, MA 02133

Dear Senator Tarr,

We are writing to encourage you to support the Energy Efficiency Standards bill, HB 4299 now in the State Senate, and to help move the bill through the Senate. As you know, greater energy efficiency standards would save consumers and businesses hundreds of millions of dollars on their electricity and natural gas bills, while improving air quality and reliability of the electricity grid here in the Commonwealth, and cutting global warming emissions.

We on Cape Ann recognize the importance of this issue and appreciate the leadership you have provided on energy and environmental matters. Your recent sponsorship of the bill on hybrids is a great example of this.

HB 4299 passed in the House by an overwhelming majority. We hope your leadership will help the bill gain victory in the Senate as well.

Sincerely,

Cape Ann Climate Action Network
