This is absolutely something that should have been done via legislation, not executive order.

And all that money being collected from gas companies in taxes/fees? Not being administered by the government, not accountable in any way, just being funneled all to a single non-profit: "Seeding Justice" , a "Portland-based nonprofit that deals in social, racial and environmental justice". Which I'm sure has no ties to Kotek, none at all. Estimated to be over $150M.

Their list of grants they have handed out looks like it's straight out of a Tucker Carlson monologue about crazy things "the woke marxist left" is doing. One of my favorite lines was a grant for "full-spectrum doula training specific to sex workers". Stuff like this is red meat for Oregon conservatives.
