I’m recording this in the aftermath of what I consider a largely failed Legislative session in Oregon and the passage of what will likely be remembered as one of the most extreme and destructive pieces of legislation in modern history at the federal level, aka the One Big Bill.
On the state level, Democrats failed to pass their major priority, a much needed transportation funding overhaul, despite having supermajorities in both chambers, and also failed on a number of other legislative fronts.
I plan to devote multiple episodes in the coming weeks and months on Oregon (and hopefully Washington) politics, but this episode is going to focus on the disaster that is the current federal administration and ruling party.
Today’s episode is a recording of a presentation by members of the Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance (PNWFCA) untangling the nefarious and overlapping schemes and policies designed to privatize and clearcut our public lands.
Speakers:
- Alex Budd, Coordinator for the Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance
- Lauren Anderson, Climate Forest Program Manager, Oregon Wild
- Lia Brewster, Conservation Campaign Strategist, Sierra Club
- Katie Bilodeau, Staff Attorney, Wilderness Watch
