 Every day legislators and politicians are making decisions and are writing laws that affect our infrastructure, environment and the way we live. Many times these individuals are making decisions that are outside their area of expertise and rely on staff members, professional organizations and lobbyists to aid them in determining their position on issues. As members of the community and civil engineers we have the duty to be aware of current issues and to share our expertise and opinions with our elected and appointed officials to aid them in their work. As engineers we are problem solvers. In fact, we have been known to be so involved in our work solving problems that we do not have the time to follow the issues and get more involved in the community and our profession. This page has two purposes:
- It provides a location where Met Section members can obtain information on what's happening in government at the local, state and federal levels as related to the civil engineering profession.
- It provides information to aid you in providing your input to the people who are making laws and regulations that affect our lives and our profession.
If you would like to respond to your representatives regarding bills, appointments or current laws, please use these legislative/political links to find the representatives and or committees that should be contacted. Please forward copies of correspondence to us so we can drum up additional support.
