I-732 a threat to jobs

Yoram Bauman, co-chair of I-732, pleads for the desire to present accurate information to voters and then cites unnamed nationally recognized sources for his claims; please.

What is accurate is that an hourly workforce stands united with the Kaiser Aluminum Corporation in defending our much needed living wage jobs which help lower mankind’s carbon footprint while providing essential materials for the world. What is factual is that trying to correct a regressive tax system by adding more taxes on businesses and utilities that are among the cleanest and most efficient on the planet is simple fallacy.

The United Steelworkers and the salaried Kaiser Employees who work in our aluminum rolling mill also live and raise families around that very mill. Our clean and responsible industries are already under attack from unfair competition overseas and cannot survive misguided internal attacks from people who mistakenly believe that shuttering our American manufacturing capacity will help global warming.

What is a fact is that voting for I-732 will lead to the loss of thousands of local living wage jobs while increasing energy costs for everyone and encourage foreign countries to actually increase carbon emissions. Vote no on I-732.
