Braveheart of The River East Idealist has done a great post on the proposed Anacostia River Clean Up and Protection Act of 2009 also known as the "bag bill imitative".

Click HERE to read the article.

The Advoc8te FULLY ENDORSES this piece of legislation and think it will do GREAT things not only to clean up the Anacostia but our community as well.

Will be posting information soon on how to testify or submit a written statement for the DC Council public hearing in early April.

The "bag bill" is a proposed law for ALL of DC - not just the River East Community.
