SALEM — Gov. Kate
Brown is preparing an
executive order to cut the
state’s climate impacts on
her own authority, after a
second failure to get legisla-
tors to approve such a plan.
The governor’s offi ce
“is having conversations
with the Department of Jus-
tice to ensure the governor
acts as aggressively as she
can within Oregon statutes,
and the executive order
will refl ect that,” a spokes-
woman for Brown said in
an email Friday.
Brown said she would
act in a statement issued
after Democrats in the Leg-
islature decided to close
down the 35-day session.
They did so because
Republicans in the House
and Senate had walked out
to avoid voting on an envi-
ronmental proposal known
as cap and trade, insisting
the complicated program
be sent to Oregon voters
instead.
The most recent legisla-
tive version of the climate
plan would
have capped
business emis-
sions of green-
house gases,
shrunk the cap

time and cre-
ated a market for those
businesses to buy and sell
certifi cates for emissions,
using the pricing scheme
to encourage businesses to
emit less.
Brown said Thursday
that, while she preferred
the legislation, she would
not abandon the climate
change plan.
“In the coming days, I
will be taking executive
action to lower our green-
house gas emissions,”
Brown said in a written
statement.
What exactly the order
would do wasn’t clear.
But any program Brown
sets up would be less fl ex-
ible than the cap -and
-trade program that legis-
lators had proposed, said
Sen. Michael Dembrow,
a Portland Democrat who
was a leading architect of
the climateplan.
“My sense, based on
what we saw last year, is
there’s fair amount she can
do on the cap side, and not
much that she can do on the
invest side,” Dembrow said.
“She can’t actually create a
market. And so it’s more of

1975. She moved to Oregon
in 1978. Darlene either lived
on or very near the 45th
parallel in both Maine and
Oregon.
Darlene was a loyal
fan of the New England
Patriots. Her favorite color
was blue and she enjoyed
yellow roses, as did her
own mother. She also loved
the outdoors, horses and
cooking, but nothing com-
pared to spending time with
family. Her children and
grandchildren were always
the love and light of her life,
each moment spent with
them was cherished by her.
Darlene lived her life by
this quote that she also used
in her high school year-
book, by Booker T. Wash-
ington: “Success is to be
measured not so much by
the position that one has
reached in life as by the
obstacles which he has
overcome while trying to
succeed.”
Darlene is survived by
her daughters, Laura (Nick)
Bowling, Angela Dorman,
Heather (Guy) Zickefoose,
and Kimberly Ham; her
son, Domanic (Katia) Col-
lins; her brothers, David
and James Collins; 16
grandchildren; and many
who loved her as mom and
grandma over the years.
Darlene was preceded in
death by her parents, James
and Ester Collins; her
brothers, Norman, Carlton
and Brian Collins; and her
sisters, Helen Falloon and
Debbie Daskam.
For those who would like
to make a memorial dona-
tion in honor of Darlene
the family suggests May

not enough Democrats sup-
ported it.
At that time, Brown
could have enacted a
number of climate poli-
cies intended to reduce
emissions, according to an
assessment done last year
by the Oregon Depart-
ment of Environmental
Quality and obtained by the
Oregon Capital Bureau. A
spokesman for the agency
said in an email the docu-
ment is now “outdated.”
According to that 2019
document, Brown could
have imposed a new limit
on emissions from indus-
trial sources and on fossil
fuels, like auto fuel and nat-
ural gas, imported to the
state. Those limits could
have been reduced over
time and the state could
have required businesses
to buy credits or offsets for
excessive emissions.
The 2019 document also
said that Brown could have
taken steps to “strengthen
and extend” the state’s low-
carbon fuel standard, tight-
ened regulations on landfi ll
methane emissions, boosted
energy effi ciency stan-
dards for electric appliances
and required new build-
ings to have electric vehicle
charging stations.
The governor could
face a legal challenge from
opponents of a climate
program.

Jennifer Lint was perusing health statistics for Baker
County when she found the ideal subject for her research
proejct.
“One of the most staggering statistics I found was
women who smoked during pregnancy,” she said.
Lint is a third-year medical student at Oregon Health
and Sciences University in Portlanad, and this week she
fi nished her four-week rural rotation at Eastern Oregon
Medical Associates in Baker City.
a regulatory approach.”
The legislation would
have used money from the
program for projects to
make transportation more
effi cient, for example, and
help Oregonians adapt to
climate change.
Brown’s order likely
wouldn’t raise money for
those kinds of projects, said
Brad Reed, a spokesman
for Renew Oregon, a coali-
tion of environmental and
renewable energy organi-
zations. The group wants a
climate change program for
Oregon.
“She has a lot of ability
to set targets … that will
lower pollution, which has
its benefi ts for health,” said
Reed. “And certainly, clean
energy transition of any
kind is going to create eco-
nomic activity and all the
good stuff that comes along
with the clean energy,
like cheaper electricity.
… But without the signifi -
cant investments that were
envisioned in the legisla-
tion, we have to wait a little
bit longer for that kind of
activity. She can’t do that
through executive order.”
Brown considered an
executive order on climate
last year, when Republi-
cans had walked out over
the 2019 version of cap
-and -trade legislation. That
bill’s demise came in late
June after it became clear
