Daily Green

Hello and good afternoon to all. The Daily Green is packed with headlines about the amazing victory over Prop 23 and Texas oil companies and the election of CLCV-endorsed candidates at the top of the ticket. We didn’t win all of our election night battles, but in electing strong environmental champions and defeating the repeal of our climate and clean energy law, California has once again demonstrated our commitment to environmental protection and progress. In today’s news:
