SEPTEMBER GUESTS
Rianna Eckel, Food and Water Watch
The Water Accountability & Equity Act is a piece of legislation the Baltimore Right to Water Coalition is pushing to pass through the City Council. The legislation would do two things:
1. Create a Water For All affordability program to ensure that low income families can afford their water bills.
2. Create an office of the Water Customer Advocate to handle water billing disputes in a timely, accountable way. Contact Rianna to show your support: (410) 394-7652 or reckel@fwwatch.org.
Scott Davis, Office of City Council President Brandon M. Scott
The upcoming Legislative and Policy proposal includes:
Cleaning up City Government
Safer, Stronger Communities
Investing in Youth
Investing in Our Future
Bringing an Equity Framework to Governance
Provide your feedback on the policy proposal with an email to councilpolicy@baltimorecity.gov.
