• Maintain and reform the State brownfields law to ensure it provides financial incentives to promote brownfields redevelopment without depriving the state of much needed tax revenue;

• Work with federal legislators to reinstate fees on industry and rebuild the “Superfund” so that sufficient funds will be available to remediate all sites on the National Priorities List.
