CABPRO is supporting the suspension of AB32 under the California Jobs Initiative and dedicated their April Newsletter to the issue. The Sierra Foothills Report has a critique of an CABPRO blog post from the Newsletter: California Air Resources Board (CARB), that concludes it is Time to Unplug CARB!!!
A commenter at the Sierra Foothills Report, Jon Shilling wrote:
Get rid of CARB, Rescind AB32, what’s next for these extremists?CABPRO extremist? Is this how all of our local lefties view our local property right organizations?
Jon Shilling goes on to imply that only big oil is behind the suspension of AB32. Really?
Here is a link to 105 organizations, political leaders and business that are supporting the California Jobs Initiative. The California Republican Party and the Tea Party Patriots have also joined the campaign. It is not just big oil.
However, with growing public support for the California Job Initiative, the left is getting nervous and have launched counter campaign to brand the CJI a big oil initiative. The Ella Baker Center which was started by Van Jones before he became Obama's Green Jobs Czar has launched a “Decline to Sign the Valero Oil Initiative" campaign.
