Watts Commits to Environmental Justice as Natural Resources Chair

From the Nevada Independent:

Newly-appointed chair of the Assembly Natural Resources Committee, Howard Watts (D-Las Vegas), stressed that discussing and addressing conservation's racial equity implications has to be a priority during a Nevada Conservation League panel on Monday.

"We're going to be looking at a range of legislation to protect our natural resources, our wildlife," Watts said. "I'm excited to try and make sure that everybody's voice is at the table."

And the Nevada Current:

“We need to take a focus on equity in our approach to these issues,” Watts said. “Making sure we are addressing some of the health, economic, and other access disparities that communities of color have faced.”
