Team Tahoe earns praise at summit

Meeting at Nevada’s Sand Harbor State Park for the annual Lake Tahoe Summit in August, Tahoe’s congressional representatives pledged to keep working together and with local, state, and private sector partners to restore Tahoe’s environment, improve forest health, and confront climate change.

“We must continue to prove Lake Tahoe is not and never will be a partisan issue,” Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nevada), the summit’s host, told an audience of about 500 people. “I think together with our leadership, and your leadership on the ground, we can continue our efforts to secure a healthy and prosperous future for the entire basin.”

Heller was joined at the 22nd annual summit by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California), Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nevada), Rep. Tom McClintock (R-California), Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nevada), and Rep. John Garamendi (D-California).
