Gov. Kate Brown nominated Amy Schlusser, a staff attorney with the Green Energy Institute, to replace a more industry-friendly commissioner, Wade Mosby, a retired forest products executive.

“There is no question she would frequently be in the position of being asked to make decisions as a commissioner that are directly related to the advocacy work she currently engages in,” says Preston Mann of Oregon Manufacturers and Commerce. “Ultimately, that level of conflict would undermine public trust in the EQC as a whole.

Brown’s office defended the nomination.

“Amy Schlusser brings experience in energy and climate policy, regulatory processes, and community engagement to the commission,” says Brown spokesman Charles Boyle. “She has also served on DEQ’s rulemaking advisory committee for Oregon’s Climate Protection Program. Having deep experience in climate policy and a history of effective public service is not a conflict of interest.”

I think they thought they had a good excuse to manhandle him

https://m.

I worked for the NewsJournal for years covering him as Senator and VP. He always treated us well and respected the job we had to do, he treats everyone with respect.
Definitely not like the enemy of the people

I was a photographer covering the parade for the local paper. Knocked myself out for a second. He immediately stopped, and sent for the physician traveling with him. The doctor said I needed stitches and put me in an ambulance. It was a minor injury and I was fine. Joe Biden called while I was waiting to get stitched up to see if I was all right, genuinely concerned. Do I love ❤️ him?

In the best sense of the word. His death was a great loss. I’m from Delaware and I covered his campaigns and work as AG for the newspaper. He treated everyone with respect and was a champion for justice. We need more like him. Our politics aren’t as cutthroat as in the rest of the country because we all know each other well. I wish it could be that way in all of the U.S.

Has Bernie even made any statement defending Joe? He and AOC need to state it clearly, like Speaker Pelosi has done several times.

Prove that you love me and infect the White House.
