Dear Senator Grassley,
THE CITY OF

March 18, 2008
I am writing to urge you to support funding for the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. Specifically, we would like you to
sign on and support the bi-partisan letter being circulated by Senators Lugar,
Menedez and Sanders. The letter asks that the Senate support full funding of
this important conservation initiative for cities. Authorization for this program
passed in the last session of Congress.
Senator Grassley, as you know I have made energy conservation and
sustainability the cornerstone of my administration. We are working very hard to
identify strategies and policies that will help Dubuque conserve energy and
reduce our carbon footprint. The EECBG program will be an essential tool in our
effort.
Thank you for your consideration of this important request and thank you for your
support of Dubuque.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the
program.
Sincerely yours,
/,~,=~"
