Superfund Legislative Update - August 2003

The closer we got to moving this bill, the more difficult it became -- both Carper and Chafee made it clear they wouldn't support us (even the watered down version) and Jeffords became even more belligerent to the idea (I was surprised how rabid Jeffords was). I would sure let your members know who let them down - its surprising and unbelievable that they couldn't even try to meet us half way on this. I must say, Senator Inhofe was livid with those members over this bill. Not sure what is next, but we'll regroup and look for opportunities. Hopefully next congress we will have a larger majority and won't have to rely on some of those members!
