On the very first day of legislative session, the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources held a public hearing on SB324, which if passed, will reauthorize the Clean Fuels Program and cut carbon pollution across our state.
OEC was there, along with proponents from the business community, health sector, consumer and environmental groups. Together, we filled the room to give testimony in support of this important program. "I don't ever remember this many people showing up to a hearing," noted Senator Chuck Thomsen (R-Hood River), as we sat patiently to express their views.

We're proud to say that SB324 was voted out of the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee. It will now head to the Senate floor for a vote on Tuesday. With your support, OEC was a driving force behind the 2009 passage of the Clean Fuels Program, and is continuing to collaborate with groups from across the state to support lifting the sunset so this important program can continue. You can count on us; we'll keep fighting until the job is done.
