Last night the Oshkosh Common Council approved the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. We become the 668th city to sign on nationally and the 15th in Wisconsin.
Soon Mayor Frank Tower will be naming an environmental committee which will be charged, in part, with looking at ways to green Oshkosh based on elements of the agreement.
Mayor Tower deserves praise for his leadership in getting the agreement on the council agenda. Many thanks also to citizens Steve Barney, Andy Robson, and former councilor Shirley Mattox for their activism on behalf of the agreement and for speaking out on it at last night's meeting.
