Hrmm... Portland has a left-wing governor and a left-wing mayor. Can’t THEY regulate the industry enough to clean things up? Or maybe, just maybe, the dear leaders from Oregon REALLY want the E.P.A. to issue rulings that will affect Houston, Charlotte, Wichita, Phoenix, Miami, Columbus, etc.?
They have no industry. Oregon environmental regulations got rid of them all. They went with tourism 40 years ago.
