Oregon Denies One-Million-Dollars For Cleaner Air Oregon Initiative

(Salem, OR)  --  Oregon's state legislature is failing to pass a bill to fund Governor Brown's initiative to clean up the state's air.  The Cleaner Air Oregon bill was passed with amendments in the House but failed to make it out of the Senate this week.  The bill still exists, but without a source of funding it can't be implemented.  The initiative had been passed after two Portland glass factories were found to be emitting high levels of heavy metals, threatening the health of people in the area.
