The Road Salt Right to Know Act is a logical next step in accounting for the cumulative impacts of salt applications. Whether it’s ruined drinking water, infrastructure that adds to the tax burden of small communities... www.adirondackcouncil.org/support-the-...

Excess road salt in New York harms personal property, drinking water, public infrastructure and natural systems – but we still don’t know how much salt is put on our roads each winter. The Road Salt Right to Know Act addresses that gap. Email now: adirondackcouncil.quorum.us/campaign/162...

Currently, road salt data is scattered and inconsistent. Municipalities and state agencies often track this information differently, or not at all. You can email lawmakers to show your support for this bill here: adirondackcouncil.quorum.us/campaign/161... www.syracuse.com/opinion/2026...

We need your voice in Albany! Tell lawmakers to pass the ROAD SALT RIGHT TO KNOW ACT in both houses this session! In less than a minute, you can tell leadership in Albany to study road salt usage: adirondackcouncil.quorum.us/campaign/162...
