Lum’s Auto Center and Toyota Motor Sales recently presented a $5,000 check to Broad-
way Middle School students to improve technology-based learning and development.
This year, Lum’s community giving is focused on children, education and health/well-
ness. Broadway Principal John McAndrews said the technology will help to improve
proficiency in math and increase access to coding programs for the school’s newly
established Lego Robotics team. Pictured from left are: Justin Tuebner, finance manag-
er at Lum’s Auto Center; Lori Lum Toyooka, John Toyooka and McAndrews.
Letters to the Editor
Carbon standards
To the editor,

hearings of the Oregon Leg-
LVODWXUH¶V VHVVLRQ ZDV
for Senate Bill 324, which ex-
tends the sunset for a low car-
bon fuel standards program
set to expire Dec. 31.
The alleged purpose of
carbon standards is to reduce
the “carbon intensity” of fos-
sil fuels. Producers of biofuels
will be given “carbon intensi-
ty credits” for their production
of “renewable” energy prod-
ucts. Suppliers of gasoline
and diesel will be forced to
purchase these “carbon inten-
sity credits” to “mitigate” their
carbon dioxide emissions.
The Department of Envi-
ronmental Quality estimates
this will increase the price of
gasoline by about 19 cents per
gallon. Consumer user groups
are estimating costs to be clos-
er to $1 per gallon.

The carbon standards is
not really about saving the
planet. Even the complete
elimination of ALL Oregon
greenhouse gas emissions
would not result in a measur-
able difference in global emis-
sions.

tice, either. Families living at
or near poverty levels spend
the highest percentage of their
income for energy. They will
suffer the greatest harm by

Oregonians
concerned
about this misguided policy
should contact their state rep-
resentatives and senators and
urge them to oppose SB 324.

To the editor,
When I moved here from
Portland, I thought Portland pol-
itics were left behind, until now.
I recently read that the city
of Seaside is raising taxes for
the convention center expan-

should have the right to vote!
This is a case of “taxation
without representation.”
