2007-2008 House Environmental Champion

As Chair of the House Local Government Committee, Representative Simpson uses his post every year to almost single-handedly fend off attacks on our state’s Growth Management Act (GMA). In 2008, he was the Prime Sponsor of the Local Solutions to Global Warming Priority. As a result of the bill’s passage, the GMA can now be used as a tool by local governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He is also the House’s strongest champion when it comes to promoting investments in transit and transportation choices.
