Republican candidate for for Governor, Chris Dudley, is wrong for Oregon.\u00a0 He\u2019s a rich man representing the wealthy. He evaded Oregon income taxes by maintaining his official residence in Washington, during his lackluster years as a Trailblazer bench warmer.\u00a0 At the same time, he still lived in Lake Oswego, Oregon, to avoid Washington sales tax.\u00a0 He even kept his car registered in Oregon, because the fee here is lower.\u00a0 So it should be no surprise that he\u2019s about cutting taxes for the rich.\u00a0 But to justify the flood of corrupt corporate cash financing his campaign, he\u2019s willing to throw Oregon\u2019s renowned environmental quality under the bus by opposing needed regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toeing the party line, Dudley opposes the Western Climate Initiative global warming agreement as a \u201ccap-tax-trade<\/a>\u201d system that would \u201cdo damage to the economy and job creation.\u201d He even bashed a weatherization initiative<\/a> as a boondoggle. \u201cClimate change is probably caused by a variety of factors,\u201d Dudley said in a September interview with the Oregonian, \u201cbut that debate is beside the point<\/a>.\u201d In a gubernatorial debate on September 30, Dudley finally admitted he doesn\u2019t know<\/a> if pollution is causing global warming…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
