Oregon is very progressive. We've got DEQ in several counties despite having no smog problems. We're the 27th largest state, which is to say that a cap and trade policy would do nothing to "heal earth". Probably delay global warming by a few minutes at best. Oregon isn't interested in supporting the low and middle class; they are only interested in pretending to help them while driving business out. They didn't want Hershey to use our water; as if we don't have enough of it. This is why everyone here is a part-time barista renting a room with 5 other people.
I don't know about running away to avoid a corum. Might as well cast the vote and let the chips lay where they may. Perhaps if enough bad laws are passed the citizenry will demand change. If not, they deserve what they allow. The quote from the senator is funny though, and I have sympathy for that sort of language and action when the cause is worthy.
