We support the Clark Coalition in order to preserve this great community for future generations. We have been lucky; previous generations have looked after our community and we must do what we can to ensure that what makes it special remains.

I support the Clark Coalition and its work to bring transparency to the citizens of Clark County thus fostering informed decisions regarding Industrial Solar. We must hold our government leaders accountable for their actions and ensure the citizens of Clark County, and not special interests, are our government’s only priority.

Clark County’s prime farm land is precious and we need to conserve it. The farm where we live has been in Marilyn’s family for nearly 100 years. We have striven to be good stewards of the land; to maintain and improve it. We appreciate the Coalition’s efforts to advocate for the unique place that we call home.
