No Analysis on Global Warming Pollution? No Problem

From the Portland Mercury on the support from the Portland City Council for a 12-lane, $4 billion MegaBridge, aka the Columbia River Crossing, despite not receiving items that it had previously conditioned its support on:
"There really was a lot of things we talked about in July that never happened," said [City Commissioner Dan] Saltzman. "There was never an analysis of induced demand or greenhouse gases, but I'm not going to beat my head against the wall here."
Thank you, Commissioner Amanda Fritz, for voting no.

I vote for pro-environmental candidates because we can’t afford to sacrifice long-term stewardship for short-term gains.
