Dennis - I'm sending your comments on to my friends in the Green Party. I've been so fed up with the Democrats' positions on environment, peace, justice, corporate subsidies at the expense of the rest of us...etc. Your analysis is wonderful. I had been very disappointed with the bill and your discussion has added the information I need to make a strong case against the bill to our state senators. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure they won't help us on this. They'll wrap themselves in the "Green cloak" and then campaign on that. It's sort of like our governor who claims to want to clean up the Sound and then fails to enforce existing legislation to protect the environment.
