Oregon state Senator Jeff Golden proposes state constitutional amendment
Oregon Senator Jeff Golden, D-Ashland, has sponsored a legislative effort that would seek to enshrine a clean, safe and healthy environment amendment in the Oregon Constitution.
Senate Joint Resolution 28, the “Right to a Healthy Environment Amendment,” is backed by a number of senators and representatives, including Rep. Pam Marsh, D-Ashland. It would take a simple majority of the Legislature to place the amendment before voters on the next general election ballot.
Senator Golden joins the Exchange to discuss the details.
“If we have it on the books, agencies will get more rigorous and will not be quite as quick to approve projects that have environmental consequences,” Golden said.
