Text of the bill..

Relating to greenhouse gas emissions; and declaring an emergency.

Good luck. This is Oregon and it's "for the environment." You know how that goes.

Yeah, more Portland,Salem,Eugene wisdom being rammed down our throats. The liberal enviros know whats best for ALL of us. At first opportunity, I am defecting to the "eastern bloc" I grow tired of westside politics (and the rain). This bill is non sense and needs to be snuffed along with a litany of other useless legislation the state is pondering, to separate us from our ever shrinking bank accounts.
