“Prop 45 removes one of the only tools frontline communities have to demand review before a new polluting project gets approved next door... Data centers are landing in industrial and working-class neighborhoods first, and this measure fast-tracks them with even less oversight.” Sylvia Arredondo, Civic Engagement Director with @CBE_Action @CBECal #NoOn45CA

26/ A representative for @MayorOfLA and the City of Los Angeles also opposes the proposed changes and speaks to the importance of GGRF funds for sustainable housing, mass transit, and environmental goals. “This sudden shift in approach… will have significant downstream impacts.”

Many sectors of the energy industry are required to plan for what happens if they close their facilities. So should oil refineries. That's why I authored #SB1259. I am glad to report that the Senate passed the bill today. @APEN4EJ @CBECal @cejapower Read more. sd38.senate.ca.gov/news/sena…
