VOLUME 5 | JULY 21, 2017

Dear Neighbors,

As many of you know, I am passionate about air quality. This week, I would like to congratulate CPS Energy who has once again demonstrated its commitment to clean air for San Antonians. Our electric utility has agreed to fund air-quality monitoring at six sites in the region, a task that’s crucial to our public health. CPS Energy is filling the void left in the San Antonio area by Gov. Greg Abbott’s unfortunate decision to abandon state-funded air-quality work throughout Texas.

I am grateful to CPS Energy for its environmental stewardship. CPS has also announced the utility is working to increase its clean-energy sources, such as wind and solar, and will close the coal-fired Deely Plant by the end of 2018, years ahead of schedule. We should all be proud of CPS Energy.”

In public service,
