Overlayed on top is a quote from the Oregon Capital Chronical that says "'Most of my colleagues in both parties, directly or indirectly, get funding from [Oil lobby groups] who come in and say the sky is going to fall if we implement this,' Golden said. 'I think what legislators need to continually hear is that if you are saying 'no' to polluter pays, you are saying 'yes' to your constituents paying.

Handwritten pink text says 'When we organize, we can reqrite the rules and build something more honest, and more prepared for the future we deserve."
