Who is paying the Proposition 23 campaign bills? KQED has created a clever Google map illustrating where the biggest contributors to the campaigns for and against the initiative live.(http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=105270551637173844123.000491e1311c5acdc4e14&ll=41.046217%2C-100.634766&spn=25.135533%2C57.568359&z=4)
A quick glance shows that more of the “Yes on 23” money is coming from out-of-state, with big money donations pouring in from San Antonio, Texas, Witchita, Kan., Smithville, Mo., and Washington, D.C. Major funders include oil interests, Valero, Tesoro and Koch Industries. (http://www.baycitizen.org/proposition-23/story/report-highlights-prop-backers-pollution/)
But the “No on 23” campaign is getting some big donations from far-flung allies, too, in New York City and Lummi Island, Wash. In California, some of the largest donations to "No on 23" are coming from Silicon Valley, with venture capitalist John Doerr and his wife Ann Doerr kicking in $2 million.
Prop. 23 would suspend AB 32,California’s land-mark greenhouse-gas emissions law, until the state’s unemployment rate reaches 5.5 percent for four consecutive quarters. With unemployment currently stuck above 12 percent, the initiative would nullify the state’s global warming law for years.
With Congress failing to pass a clean energy bill this year, the national battle over climate change has shifted to California, which has the toughest global warming law on the books in the country. Since Prop. 23 could stall that law, the big donations from out-of-state underscore the importance of this initiative in the national debate over how to address global warming.Who is paying the Proposition 23 campaign bills?

Opponents of Proposition 23 released a report on Wednesday detailing safety violations at Valero’s and Tesoro’s refineries in California. The two Texas-based companies, which operate refineries in the Bay Area in Benicia and Martinez, are the largest financial backers of Prop. 23, the ballot initiative that would suspend AB 32, the state’s landmark global warming law.
The report, entitled “Off the Charts: How Tesoro and Valero Routinely Violate California’s Health and Safety Laws,” was issued by the No on 23 campaign and is based on documents obtained from state Air Quality Management districts through public record requests. The districts regulate the refineries.Opponents of Proposition 23 released a report on Wednesday detailing safety violations... more

OAKLAND, Calif. - Texas-based oil giants Valero and Tesoro, among the biggest polluters in the nation, are the main backers of Proposition 23, which would suspend California's clean air laws.
A new study exposes the two oil companies bankrolling the ballot initiative as among the worst polluters in the nation. The companies contributed more than $4 million to place the proposition on California's November ballot.
Prop. 23 would suspend California's air pollution control laws "until the state unemployment rate drops to 5.5 percent or lower for one year," according to the Legislative Analyst's Office.
That has happened three times in the past 30 years, the Associated Press reported. California's current official unemployment rate stands at 12.3 percent and, given the depth of the economic crisis, even the most optimistic forecasts project high unemployment rates for years to come.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom blasted Prop. 23 as "deceptive" at a press conference August 10 that released the study.OAKLAND, Calif. - Texas-based oil giants Valero and Tesoro, among the biggest... more
