Clean Laundry and Clean Elections
From Project Laundry List, the eco chic activist online group, I have learned about Right to Dry legislation.
Many people in the United States are not allowed to hang out their clothes to dry in the sun. Community covenants, landlord prohibitions, and zoning laws are the three primary means of stopping people from using clotheslines. State and federal legislators are encouraged to introduce "Right to Dry" legislation to stem this growing problem.
The Hartford Courant had an editorial a few days ago supporting right to dry legislation. They note that such legislation would seem to fit nicely with Gov. Rell's OneThing campaign.
The discussion about right to dry promoted me to put up my Wordless Wednesday - Eco Chic picture.
From my wife, came an invitation to join the CT Common Cause Facebook Group. I’ve sent out a bunch of invitations. She also invited me to join the Common Cause group on Change.org. Kim has started as a senior organizer at Common Cause Connecticut. Kim’s key focus is to get people to participate in publicly funded state legislative elections under the new campaign finance laws. Details can be found at CT Citizen’s Elections Program.
Also related to elections is a series of emails and a blog post I put up on MyLeftNutmeg about Voting Problems in Hamden.
