The past year has called attention to the difficult environmental issues associated with our regionslation aimed at cleaning the air at our ports, and with critics stating that Mayor Hahns policy of no net increase in emissions is both unrealistic and inadequate to combat harbor pollution problems effectively, the region must quickly find practical solutions to projected growth.
