I’m delighted to welcome yet another contributor to Undip:  Ross Hammersley.  Regular readers will recognize Ross as one of our best and most consistent commenters, most notably his excellent reports on the impact of the auto bailout debate in Michigan.  Ross will continue to write about the attempt to transform the U.S. auto industry, as well as on energy and environmental issues and their impact on U.S. foreign policy.

Ross is an associate attorney with the law firm of Frank, Haron, Weiner and Navarro. His practice involves litigation at the state, federal and international level, including specializations in whistleblower protection under the federal False Claims Act as well as environmental and health law. Before heading to law school, he was a regional organizer for Ecopledge.com, advocating corporate environmental responsibility, and a grassroots campaign manager for the State PIRGs in California, pushing for renewable energy, wilderness protection, and remediation of toxic waste.

Ross also has worked for the Audubon Society on ecological restoration, and as an environmental educator in Michigan and Vermont. Ross is a cum laude graduate of the Michigan State College of Law where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Michigan State Law Review and specialized in environmental law, and he received his Bachelor of Science degree from the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan.

As is the case with all Undip contributors, Ross’s views are his own and do not reflect those of his employer.

I continue to be delighted and impressed with the quality and range of those contributing here.  Many thanks to Pin, Midwest, Chris, Annie, and Ross.  We hope to have more soon.  And if you’re interested in joining them, add a comment below and I’ll be in touch with you.
