Please take a moment to comment on this pending proposal which would
result in higher gas prices and increased use of Ethanol mixed fuels.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is adopting rules
to implement the *costly new Low Carbon Fuel Standard* (LCFS). This
“hidden gas tax” will hurt working families and small businesses, and we
need your help.

The DEQ’s Environmental Quality Commission will hold a public hearing on
proposed rules on November 6.

The commission needs to hear from Oregonians who will be affected by
this new government regulation. According to a study by the Boston
Consulting Group, the LCFS could raise the cost of fuel in Oregon by 33
cents to $1.06 per gallon. This will unfairly penalize lower-income
Oregonians who pay a larger share of their income on transportation, and
will punish small businesses that are sensitive to high fuel costs.
According to estimates, this hidden gas tax could cost Oregon’s economy
as many as 29,000 jobs.

If you’re concerned about the impacts of this hidden gas tax, it’s time
to make your voice heard.

Please consider attending the public hearing:
