Congresswoman Yvette Clarke

Important Environmental Issue In Congresswoman Clarke's District:
The Gowanus Canal


The Cobble Hill Association will host roundtable meeting with Congresswoman Yvette Clarke on Monday, January 11th to discuss various issues pertaining to her district and will
provide an opportunity for members of the community to take their concern directly to Congresswoman Clarke. The meeting will be free of charge and open to all.

I would like to thank the Cobble Hill Association and its president Roy Sloane for organizing the event.
I will certainly be in attendance. I believe that Congresswoman Clarke owes her constituents an explanation for her failure to take a stand on the proposed listing of the Gowanus Canal as a Superfund site. She has been tiptoeing around the issue for months claiming she is doing due-diligence. As opposed to Congresswoman Velázquez's strong pro-Superfund statement, Ms. Clarke's fence-sitting has been deplorable.

I had lengthy conversations with the Congresswoman's staff about this very important environmental issue and hope to have an opportunity to finally hear directly from Ms. Clarke.
