I suspect that supporting any position, such as that of 'secure our fuels', which is funded and supported by the billionaire Koch brothers for their own personal profit, is not in the best long-term interests of Oregonians.

But I'm in ON, not OR, so I won't say more.

> The DEQ�s Environmental Quality Commission will hold a public hearing on

> The commission needs to hear from Oregonians who will be affected by
