The strongest such law in the country, AB 32 is a model for other states to emulate.   The arguments made by Proposition 23&#8217;s proponents are full of fear-mongering and faulty logic, but that hardly matters \u2014 they&#8217;re backed by the unlimited financial resources of oil billionaires who are unwilling to sacrifice a few points of profit in the interests of the planet.  Yes, this election is an important one, all right.  As a Massachusetts resident, I have no voice in California&#8217;s politics \u2014 but as an environmentally aware citizen, I am watching this election with considerable apprehension.  To end AB 32&#8217;s effectiveness with a spurious economic argument would be a devastating blow to hopes for similar legislation elsewhere in the country.  That&#8217;s what the Koch brothers believe, too.<\/p>\n<p>Warren Senders<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A column in the Marysville, California Appeal-Democrat outlines the issues facing Californians and includes a paragraph on Proposition 23.
