The state’s “cap and invest” bill emerges after several years of work and coincides with an announcement from Wash- ington lawmakers for a similar program in their state. The bill will be considered during the Legislature’s policymaking session Feb. 5 to March 11. Democrats have identified the legislation as a top priority for the session. Modeled after a program in California, Oregon’s so-called “Clean Energy Jobs” bill would set a cap of less than 25,000 tons of CO2 per year for each company, beginning in 2021. “In other words, your favorite brewery or grocery store down the street will not fall under the cap, only the largest polluters in the state,” said Brad Reed of Renew Oregon, a leading proponent of the bill. “The cap will decline over time through 2050 to ensure we reach our reduction targets and provide certainty for business.” The estimated 100 Oregon companies that emit more than that amount would be required to buy market-priced allowances for the excess. The “price” on emissions is File photo Oregon Democrats have released the first draft of a bill that would require industries emitting more than 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide to buy market-priced credits. The state would use proceeds from the sale of credits to fund climate-related projects. designed to encourage busi- nesses to adopt technologies and practices that reduce their carbon footprint. The allowances would be sold at a North American auction and generate revenue that would be invested in green-energy and environmentally friendly agriculture projects. The program would even- tually generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue that would be invested in proj- ects that slow climate change, Dembrow said. The exact cost of the program has yet to be calculated, he said. But previous estimates pegged revenue at about $700 million per year. Investments could include rebates for electric vehicles, solar panels on homes or safety improvements on bicycle lanes, among other things, Reed has said. Carbon trading markets are gaining momentum around the globe. China has plans to launch a carbon market later this year that would account for about a quarter of that country’s industrial emissions, according to E & E News, a Washington, D.C., environ- ment and energy publication. A cap-and-invest bill in 2016 drew strong opposition from certain Oregon business groups, including Associated Oregon Industries, since merged into Oregon Business & Industry. Mark Johnson, OBI president and CEO, said the program would drive up prices on consumers and drive away businesses from the state. “Unfortunately, the legis- lation introduced (Monday) is an example of misplaced U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown on Tuesday ordered Malheur occupation leader Ryan Payne back into custody in Oregon. A day earlier, Payne and members of the Bundy family were handed a stunning legal victory in Las Vegas in a separate case. Payne must report to the U.S. District Courthouse in downtown Portland by noon Thursday, Brown ruled from the bench. “We need to return him to the position he was in when he went to Nevada,” Brown said during a court hearing Tuesday. Payne is currently on pretrial release in Las Vegas and subject to GPS monitoring. U.S. Marshals previ- ously transported Payne to Nevada to face charges related to a 2014 armed Payne standoff between the Bureau of Land Manage- ment, ranchers and members of the Bundy family. Payne was granted pretrial release in December after it surfaced that prosecutors had withheld information from defendants. The only reason Payne was released, rather than being held in pretrial custody, was that he was “preparing his joint defense with other defendants,” Brown said Tuesday. “Now that no longer exists.” Arranging Payne’s transporta- tion from Las Vegas to Port- land has proven challenging. U.S. Marshals said they could take Payne into custody in Las Vegas and transport him to Oregon, but that would take at least one week.

Rather than pushing a complex, costly program to address an issue that busi- nesses already are making progress on, legislators need to focus on a problem only they can fix — Oregon’s fiscal instability.” Tom Koehler, co-found of Pacific Ethanol and secretary of the Oregon Business Alliance on Climate, said he supports moving forward on the legislation this year. “There is a fundamental decision that needs to be made now and not danced around: Do we believe the climate crisis is real and are we ready to do our part to make a differ- ence?” Koehler said. “We believe action now will benefit Oregon’s economy and its citizens.” Democrats Sen. Michael Dembrow of Portland, and Rep. Ken Helm of Beaverton assembled a series of work groups to address concerns from business and industry, environmentalists and advocates for minorities and residents of rural areas. The lawmakers said they added several provisions to the bill designed to help businesses stay competitive, including dedicating 20 percent of revenue to job-generating projects in rural areas and legislative oversight of rulemaking to ensure rules don’t put companies out of business.

Commercial fights were also discussed, but Payne’s attorneys said his photo ID was seized by the FBI when he was arrested along a rural Oregon highway nearly two years ago. Identification is required at airport security. Brown eventually agreed to allow Bundy family supporter Kelli Stewart to drive Payne the 973 miles from Las Vegas to Portland, pending a background check of Stewart. A release hearing for Payne was set for Jan. 23 in Oregon.

Roy D. Farber, 31, allegedly provided the girl a phone, and used it to send her explicit messages and photos. The girl’s parents discovered the phone, and turned it over to Kennewick police. Detectives searched Farber’s home and seized cellphones and computers to examine later. Farber is a correctional officer at the Two Rivers Correctional Facility in Umatilla. He was booked into Benton County jail on an investigative hold for communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. The investigation is continuing. — Tri-City Herald Judge OKs plan to boost spill at Columbia and Snake dams PORTLAND (AP) — A federal judge has signed off on a plan to spill more water over Columbia and Snake river dams to help protect salmon and steelhead. U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon ruled last spring that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers must spill more water through spillways, rather than turbines. In his order, he told federal agencies to spend the next year studying how to release the right amount of water without creating unintended negative consequences. He approved the plan Monday. Conservationists say the extra water will help young salmon migrate out to sea. The federal government has appealed Simon’s 2017 ruling to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. If his order is not overturned, it will go into effect at eight dams in early April and last until mid-June.
