Carbon Pulse Daily: Thursday May 24, 2018
View on Carbon Pulse website"The Oregon Joint Committee on Carbon Reduction met this week for the first time since the state’s cap-and-trade legislation stalled in March. The 14-person committee, co-chaired by House Speaker Tina Kotek (D) and Senate President Peter Courtney (D), will see lawmakers develop new policy proposals and hear testimony from invited guests with the goal of recommending a new carbon pricing policy for introduction in 2019. Speakers at this week’s session included Oregon Department of Environmental Quality director Richard Whitman and Resources for the Future senior fellow Dallas Burtraw. The committee is scheduled to meet at least six more times throughout the summer and fall. For more detail on the committee’s goals, check out Carbon Pulse’s interview with Oregon Representative Ken Helm. (The Dalles Chronicle)"
