TAKE ACTION: Vote Susan Burgess for At-Large City Council Posted by: William Gupton on October 18, 2009 at 2:57PM PST
Where does Susan Burgess’ stand on the environmental issues and opportunities facing our City? I believe that one word describes her – Champion. She has been a Champion at the city, the region, the state and national levels. That’s why the Central Piedmont Sierra Club endorses Susan Burgess as one of the four At-Large candidates and urges our members to work to re-elect her.
