Environmental advocates and union representatives teamed up Tuesday to urge passage of both parts of the Biden administration’s infrastructure initiative in order to address a wide range of water quality problems in the state.

The Blue-Green Alliance is an advocacy partnership between the environmental movement and organized labor.
