“We commend the governor for standing up to this powerful, dirty industry and defending the public interest,” said Erik Schlenker-Goodrich, executive director of the Western Environmental Law Center. “The oil and gas industry’s appetite for taxpayer handouts and subsidies is endless.

It is time to have a serious discussion about retiring and cleaning up these wells, not propping them up with additional tax subsidies.”
