| On Thursday 2/25/10, Jake Stewart, former manager of the City of Austin's Climate Protection Program, presented a successful petition drive to City Council, urging leaders to renew their commitment to making Austin "the leading the city in the nation" in climate protection. (1) Austin first adopted its climate protection plan in March 2007, under a previous mayor and city council.
The Petition's Objective is to let Austin's leaders know there are plenty of folks who appreciate and support the City's hard work in this regard, and who believe in working-together to achieve as much as possible.
Jake was complimentary, thanking the original council signatories for their initiative some 3 years ago, and challenging today's Council members to recognize that climate leadership can be leveraged to create economic stimulus.
Petition signatories include:
#518, Reverend Louis Snead

#398, Reverend Stephen Kinney
#284, Terry Allen
