Dear Senator Harkin,
I am writing on behalf of my colleagues on the Dubuque City Council and on
behalf of the citizens of Dubuque to thank you for your support of funding for the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program.
Specifically, we would like to thank you for signing on to the bi-partisan letter
being circulated by Senators Lugar, Menedez and Sanders. We need the
Senate's support of full funding for this important conservation initiative for cities.
Senator Harkin, 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 support of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block
Grant program and thank you for your support of Dubuque.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the
program.
Sin erely yours,
/,
~y D. Buol
Mayor
