Public Forum on the Governor’s Puget Sound Initiative

*TACOMA- May 18, 2006 *

Pierce County Public Forum May 18, 2006

We will have a healthy Puget Sound by 2020 if we act now
YOU can be apart of making that happen.

It’s not about some far away place or far off time.

It’s about you, about all of us.

And about our future.

It’s urgent.

Governor Gregoire has launched the most comprehensive and ambitious effort ever to clean up Puget Sound. She has convened the Puget Sound Partnership (www.pugetsoundpartnership.org), a group of elected, business, tribal, and environmental leaders, to recommend an action agenda for restoring Puget Sound to health by 2020.

They want to hear from you!

The Puget Sound Partnership is holding this public forum to get your input and feedback about the action agenda they are developing. This is the first opportunity for the public to comment on the Governor’s Puget Sound Initiative. We need to show the Governor that there is broad public support for taking bold steps to clean up Puget Sound, which is why it’s crucial we have a strong turnout at these forums.
