Mississippi River Mayors meet
(Clinton) -- Clinton's mayor attending first meeting a new coalition
Clinton Mayor Mark S. Vulich is joining 20 Mayors of communities along the Mississipp to Discuss Severe Weather Implications for Mississippi River Sustainability and Need for Regional Cooperation
Spurred by the severe weather, Vulich is participating in a press briefing with Mayors from towns and cities along the Mississippi River main stem to discuss a mayoral-led effort to bring national attention back to the Mississippi River—America’s most critical natural asset—and spearhead a new level of regional cooperation to make it more sustainable. The drought—the worst in 50 years—has severely impacted the towns, cities and people who live and make a living along the River, the ecological linchpin to the 37-state Mississippi River Basin—including Clinton, Iowa. Now, Hurricane Isaac has further threatened many river towns.
The Clinton City Council earlier approved the city participating in this mayor's group.
Other area and other Iowa mayors participating in the event in St. Louis include -
Bill Gluba, Davenport, IA;
Roy Buol, Dubuque, IA;
Larry Stebbins, Savanna, IL;
DeWayne Hopkins, Muscatine, IA
