Will Politicians Ever Stop Taking Money From Big Oil?
Channel: WMX Presents
Date: 12/06/2017

Despite temperatures soaring beyond 95 degrees, hundreds of Californians gathered in front of the Governor’s Mansion and marched to the Democratic State Convention and throughout the streets of Sacramento on May 20th to demand that our elected officials stop taking money from the oil industry.
 
“In the past year, the oil industry spent an historic 36.1 million dollars to lobby California lawmakers. Over the past 6 years, the industry has spent 122 million, more than any other interest group. This spending spree has paid huge dividends for these companies, allowing them to quash or neuter any meaningful legislation that might significantly curb their power to drill and pollute. This is particularly significant as during this time, the state of California performed independent studies which had notable findings on the toxicity of oil operations and made strong recommendations to protect public health, none of which have been implemented or addressed, leaving the general public vulnerable to contamination and toxic exposure.”
