California’s Proposition 23 seeks to suspend a 2006 law intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As of October 6, contributions to Yes on 23 from oil interests Valero ($4,059,678) and Tesoro ($1,525,000) make up more than half of all Yes on 23 contributions. http://maplight.org/content/issue-page-prop-23
TYSON SLOCUM
Slocum is director of Public Citizen’s Energy Program and can speak to the national implications of the proposition. He said today: “It is critical that, in the absence of leadership at the federal level, states continue their efforts to address climate change. The oil industry and other polluters have played a role in trying to kill this important law.”
