Community, PLEASE… Betsy is unlikely to make up for her drop in the polls, even Phil Knight has moved his $$ to Christine. What does that tell you? Here are some facts from COIN.
Betsy sides with polluters and climate change deniers, and has worked to kill any legislation to address the climate crisis.
Betsy vowed to repeal the 2020 Executive Order that has put Oregon state agencies on track to reduce greenhouse gasses and improve energy efficiency in housing and consumer goods.
As a legislator, she voted against the Clean Fuels Program that will make Oregon the first coal-free state by 2020.
Betsy has voted:
NO to bills that would develop Oregon’s renewable energy industries.
NO to establishing incentives for electric vehicles like more charging stations and help for low income purchasers.
NO to developing Oregon’s biodiesel industry which would reduce fossil fuel use and carbon emissions.
NO to updating energy efficiency requirements for appliances
NO to protections for low income utility ratepayers.
NO to Oregon’s new program to hold producers of plastic packaging responsible of the costs of recycling plastic waste.
Betsy joined Republicans in supporting a bill that would have doubled logging in Oregon’s state forests, had it passed. It would have decimated our state forests and their important role in sequestering and storing carbon from the atmosphere.
Betsy also supported bills to undermine wetlands protection.
She has side with polluters again and again, rather than the people of her district – those communities on the coast, in rural areas and small cities – who would benefit greatly from improved energy efficiency, transition to an economy that includes renewable energy, and averting the severe damage climate change will cause to health, natural resources, the economy, and our way of life.
It is no surprise that Betsy has taken money from the Koch Bros., Timber Unity, and other corporations and individuals representing the timber industry, oil and gas companies, real estate development, and tobacco companies. Her largest donors include a subsidiary of oil and gas conglomerate, Global Partners, which has holdings including a terminal in Clatskanie.
If you want to know Betsy’s alliances, follow the money, it doesn’t come without attachments…
Please vote for Tina Kotek!
