For the sake of our state, senators must become more aware of the issues surrounding the Connecticut River. The river is a staple of Connecticut and an important symbol for anyone who lives or has lived in this state. If the river is allowed to deteriorate and be forgotten due to overdevelopment, it is not just the river that will be harmed, but the image of our state, the image of our people. As residents of Connecticut, is it not our responsibility to stand up for the river and preserve the face of our state? Do we want to be seen by other states as the state that shuns our fundamental duty of preserving the land where we live, or the state that has the initiative and honor to continue to preserve it in the face of our increasingly hectic world?
