Meg Whitman opposes measure delaying California climate law

Article Link:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman today came out against a ballot initiative that would indefinitely delay California's landmark global warming law, saying she supports a more limited suspension.

...Proposition 23, which is primarily funded by Texas oil companies Valero Energy Corp. and Tesoro Corp., would delay the global warming law, known as AB32, until California's unemployment falls to 5.5 percent and stays there for a year. That has only happened three times during the last three decades.
- A small defeat for the oil industry and their anti-environment, anti-global warming lobbying.
