SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – For 23 years political leaders from the White House to state capitols have professed their commitment to protecting Lake Tahoe.
At the first Lake Tahoe Summit on July 27, 1997, then-President Bill Clinton and Vice-President Al Gore told of their commitment to keeping Tahoe blue after decades of erosion from roads, increased emissions from automobiles and boats, removal of wetlands and overgrown and dying forests were threatening its clarity.
