__SALUTATION__

This week, I joined my colleagues to support bills moving through #CALeg that hold corporations accountable for their greenhouse gas emissions.

We can only change what we know and help address climate change if we have reliable reporting on who, when, where, and how much a company is polluting.

I’m also calling for nominations to spotlight the efforts of those in #AD77 who are fighting for the environment. If you have an individual or group in mind, please let my office know!

Cheers,

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner
Assemblymember, 77th District

Combatting the Climate Crisis

This week, I joined my colleagues to support of SB 253 and SB 261 at a rally focused on solutions to our climate crisis.

This is the bold action we need to combat the climate crisis by providing transparency and ensuring accountability for those emitting greenhouse gases. #CALeg
