PA DEP, DCNR Release Letter Comparing Growing Greener II and Green PA Proposals

The Pennsylvania departments of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) have received numerous requests for detailed analysis of the House Republicans' recently released Green PA plan, as well as a comparison of that plan to Governor Rendell's Growing Greener II initiative.

DEP and DCNR are releasing, with permission, a Feb. 11 letter sent to several environmental groups and conservation organizations that requested assistance in understanding more clearly the details of the two proposals. Enacting a measure to put the $800 million Growing Greener II initiative on the spring ballot remains a top priority of the administration to enhance the economic and environmental health of Pennsylvania.

More 20 democratic representatives are calling for the dismissal of the Republican proposed Green PA Plan.
