(Bumped. Instead of live-blogging this conversation (logistically complicated), I will chat with the Secretary on the record and post the audio later. If you have questions, now's the time! - promoted by David)
Charley and I will sit down with EOEEA Secretary Ian Bowles this Friday at 12:30 pm for an on-the-record chat about environmental policies and priorities. Between the Middlesex Fells, the wind regulation bill, and the flap over the water withdrawal policy, there should be a lot to talk about. I'll live-blog the conversation so that you can participate.
On a positive note, though, the Patrick administration has come to an agreement with the environmental groups that jumped ship over the water withdrawal issue, and the groups have rejoined the advisory panel. That is good news for everyone.
If you have specific questions for Secretary Bowles, drop them in the comments -- and please join us Friday at 12:30.
