Big Oil should clean up their mess

There are over 40,000 oil wells in California that leak and pollute our communities, even as they've sat inactive for years. We need to take urgent action, and taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill.

My bill to raise rates on corporations who drill on our public lands went into effect at the beginning of the year. This bill marked the first time in a century that the rates were changed, but it’s just the start. I’ll always hold polluters accountable.

I have a new proposal requiring oil companies to front the cost of clean-up. Can you sign on to my petition in support of this new rule?
