I will get right to the point: the City must rescind the LUCS [Land Use Compatibility Statement] that was erroneously granted to Zenith Energy in October by Commissioner Dan Ryan. We must clean up the mess he made before Zenith makes a dangerous, deadly mess of our Willamette River.
This was an opportunity for the City to be the climate leaders you pretend to be, for real. You failed, you caved to the usual business interests, and betrayed the community. You can fix this, hold a public hearing
