Oregon’s ecosystems won’t survive a Drazan governance
This is my #1 of many concerns regarding this candidate. Drazan aligns herself with climate change deniers and has absolutely zero interest in environmental preservation. Oregon’s public lands are already under threat. What’s left of our old-growth forest won’t have any protections remaining in place if it’s left up to her. Regardless of one’s political stance, can’t we all agree that clean water and healthy forests are non-negotiable? This candidate could not care less about our state’s natural resources other than to plunder them for capitalism’s sake. Drazan currently has a 0% score (lifetime 13%) with the League Of Conservation Voters. Tax code changes, policies, regulations, etc. can be amended, revoked, or overruled eventually. But our land cannot; what’s gone is gone with regard to threatened habitats and species, mature forests, and waterways. She simply does not care. I want my children and grandchildren to be able to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of our special state, but I am genuinely worried about what detriment even four years could inflict with this person as governor. TL;DR: Oregonians can recover from bad leadership, but our natural resources cannot (in our lifetime)
