Tea Party-Funding Koch Brothers Contribute One Million to California Campaign | Veracity Stew
The fat-cat, Tea Party-funding Koch Brothers have made a $1 million dollar contribution to supporters of Californias Proposition 23, which would block climate change legislation passed in 2006. The law requires companies to cut their greenhouse gas emissions down to 1990 levels over the next decade. Prop 23 seeks to suspend this law until statewide unemployment drops below 5.5% for four consecutive quarters, something which has only happened three times in the last three decades.
Two Texas-based oil companies, Valero Energy Corp. and Tesoro Corp., have also contributed to the proposition.
Environmental groups and concerned citizens are speaking out against the proposition, and have been joined by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who called the Koch donation extremely disappointing. <more>
