The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) reports that more than a dozen directors of state aggregates associations discussed advocacy efforts for a long-term highway bill at a meeting of the Aggregates and Concrete Executives (ACE) in Springfield, Ill. Members agreed that meeting face-to-face with members of Congress in their home districts or taking them on a tour of plants and facilities are effective ways of resolving issues impeding passage of a highway bill.
The group also discussed environmental management, and worker health and safety issues, including compliance with MSHA standards.
