Podcasts about blumenauer

Earl Blumenauer is one of the longest-serving elected officials in Oregon history – if not the longest. He first won election to the Oregon House of Representatives in his early 20s, and over the course of five decades went on to serve on the Multnomah County Commission, Portland City Council and, most famously, for nearly 30 years representing Portland in Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District.In that time, Blumenauer has stood out for any number of reasons: his bow tie, his enthusiasm for bicycles, and his passion for cannabis legalization to name a few. But now he’s saying goodbye to public office, and looking forward to a role helping his hometown find its feet.Blumenauer came into OPB on December 13 to chat with reporter Dirk VanderHart. They chatted about Blumenauer's career, his take on national politics, and what comes next. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.

Over his five-decade long career in politics Congressman Earl Blumenauer has been a staunch support of transit and livable cities. Paul sat down with Rep. Blumenauer after a chance meeting at the Impact Conference in Phoenix last fall to talk about his life, career, passions, and what's next after he leaves Congress at the end of his term.In their wide-ranging discussion, Paul and Rep. Blumenauer talk about what got him into politics, and more importantly, his lifelong passion for streetcars, transit, livable communities, and bikes. It's not often you get to hear from someone who has had his hand on the wheel of transit policy for so long. From his early work in Portland to create the first modern streetcar line in the U.S. to his continued passion for livable communities that will keep him busy when he retires from Congress at the end of his term this year, you get a true sense of passion and insight into what really moves people.As we come into an election year in the U.S. strong advocacy for transit, sustainability, and more livable cities will be more important than ever.Coming up next week on the show we have Ken Divers and Flora Castillo talking about the SEPTA SCOPE program that's aimed at helping vulnerable populations get the help they need while also making transit safer for everyone.If you have a question, comment, or want to be a guest on Transit Unplugged, email us at info@transitunplugged.com.00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:25 Interview with Congressman Earl Blumenauer05:47 Discussion on Streetcars and Public Transit09:52 Congressman's Career and Achievements24:13 Future Plans and Final Thoughts26:31 Coming up next week on Transit Unplugged

Since 1996, U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer's time in Congress has made a real impact on our city's livability — a big reason Portland is considered a great bicycling city is because of his policy work.

On Monday, U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer announced he will not seek reelection next year after serving nearly 30 years in Congress. In a statement released by his office, he pledged to continue “championing livable communities starting right here in Portland and being a resource and a partner for the next generation.” The Democratic lawmaker from Portland was first elected to Congress in 1996, the same year he founded the Congressional Bike Caucus which has grown to include 130 members. In 2017, he helped launch the Congressional Cannabis Caucus which successfully lobbied recently to end the prohibition on using federal funds for cannabis research. Rep. Blumenauer joins us to talk about his legislative priorities and his decision to retire amid the recent election of a new House speaker and the threat of a government shutdown next month. 

Congressman Earl Blumenauer has represented Oregon's Third Congressional District since 1996, and he's become a fixture in Portland over the years, known both for his signature bowtie and for his passion for bikes and public transit in the Rose City. There's even a local bike and pedestrian bridge named after him.Rep. Blumenauer was a guest on this week's episode of Straight Talk to discuss the current challenges Portland faces with crime and homelessness, his vision for the future of the city and how his work in Congress will impact things back in Oregon.Asked about the current state of Portland, Blumenauer described the city's outlook as very mixed, with serious problems and community struggles contrasting with good moments."If you go through the neighborhoods, as I do every week, you see people who take pride in their community, who haven't given up," he said. "They're fighting to move forward, to take advantage of opportunities, and to make sure that we're not going to be defeated by these circumstances."

One of those bills would also help recruit and train poll workers, and provide financial support for administering elections.Last week, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden and U.S. Representative Earl Blumenauer, both from universal vote-by-mail state Oregon, introduced the Vote at Home Act.   Oregon has conducted every election by mail since 2000.  The legislation automatically registers citizens to vote when they obtain or renew driver's licenses, makes mail-in options available to all voters, and requires pre-paid envelopes to return ballots. Voting by mail reached 50% during the pandemic-impacted 2020 election, up from 25% in 2018.  In last fall's midterms, despite a massive disinformation campaign to discredit it, mail-in voting was still 35% of the ballots cast, an indicator that voters liked the convenience of “kitchen table” voting.  Reintroduced by U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar last week was the Sustaining Our Democracy Act, which would increase access to mail-in voting AND early voting.  It also provides funding for recruiting, training and protecting poll workers,  modernizing election equipment, and improving cyber security.  AND it increases funding to cities and counties to administer elections. Disinformation in Congress persists, making passage of the bills uncertain.   We have more at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.  I'm Brian Beihl.

This week in our short recap of the week, a new poll has shown that Republican voters are overwhelmingly in favor for state legal/states rights cannabis markets with minimal federal regulation. Several congressional lawmakers have called the FDA as being a disappointment and their response being completely insufficient regarding CBD/hemp regulations. A prominent cannabis favoring congressman has called out drug testing as part of a modern day issue causing labor shortages and supply chain issues.

The letter opens stating that, This one-page technical assistance, which took your agency nearly four months to provide in response to our request, is simply a reformatting of a document provided to Congress over two years ago. Reps. Kathleen Rice (D-NY), Morgan Griffith (R-VA), Angie Craig (D-MN) and Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) were the congress members behind the writing of the letter. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) has proposed that the drug testing standards for the workforce undergo changes. Noting the recent rail strikes that have been averted, he notes that the job has a requirement of specialized skills, but a job pool shrunk by drug testing requirements. These are requirements that place qualified candidates out of the running for job positions over items they ingested up to six weeks prior to a test. This also gets qualified workers disqualified from continuing with a job by drug test, when they were not intoxicated or consuming on the job. “A lot of these shortcomings in terms of the supply chain are that people do not qualify for the jobs because they've used marijuana sometime in the last six weeks, which doesn't affect their ability to do their job, but it throws them out of the consideration,” Blumenauer said.

Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon) has said he has waited his entire congressional career for an opportunity to participate in a sweeping infrastructure plan like the one President Biden has proposed. Blumenauer was a guest this week on Straight Talk, and applauded Biden's announcement this week that he's reached a bipartisan deal on a pared down version of his American Jobs Plan.

In this episode of Distant Voices, the Willamette Week Newsroom discusses several hot topics. We talk about the internet community that helps people in Oregon find a COVID-19 vaccine appointment. We talk to Representative Campos about her bill providing care for homeless people. And we end the episode by talking to Rep. Earl Blumenauer about the plans to put a bridge over the Columbia River. Thanks for listening and come back on Saturday to listen to Dive with Hank Sanders.

In this session, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, founder and co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, joins POLITICO Cannabis Reporter Natalie Fertig to discuss the path forward for legalizing cannabis. Rep. Blumenauer has led the effort in the House to pass the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act to end the federal prohibition of cannabis and ensure restorative justice for those impacted by it. The historic 2020 vote marked the first time a full chamber of Congress voted to end this prohibition. Now, with a new presidential administration and Senate majority, along with cannabis momentum across the country, Blumenauer and Fertig discuss the renewed outlook for federal legalization. They also explore the changing cannabis policy landscape as more states incorporate regulatory frameworks and restorative justice policies for communities most impacted by the war on drugs.

Electric bikes shorten commutes, flatten hills and make cycling accessible to anyone who might need a boost. They're also great tools for replacing car trips and fighting climate change. Unfortunately, they're still a little pricey for some people. That could change thanks to a new bill in Congress: the Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment Act. Co-sponsored by Congressman Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, the E-BIKE Act would offer a tax credit of 30% of the price of an electric bicycle, something that could bring the joys of e-bike ownership within  reach of more Americans. Congressman Blumenauer joins The War on Cars to discuss the bill, why commuter benefits ought to apply to bicycle sharing systems, and the economic, environmental and social benefits of bike commuting in general. (Spoiler alert: cyclists typically don't murder each other over parking.) Plus, he offers his thoughts on Democratic control of the House and Senate and the recent appointment of U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.  ***This episode was sponsored in part by our friends at Cleverhood.

This week: climate change is certainly the most urgent issue we face. But should it be formally declared an emergency? There’s a real conversation over the label in the US -- and it could have a very real impact on what the president can do.This has been a growing priority for environmental groups. Grist reported that in December, more than 380 of them sent a letter to Joe Biden’s transition team, urging him to issue an executive order mobilizing the National Emergencies Act. And now, Rep. Earl Blumenauer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the House and Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Senate among others just introduced The National Climate Emergency Act of 2021, Then: what could be the counter-impact? Changes across the energy economy are set to accelerate. If we don’t do it correctly, are we facing a “Yellow Vest” protest movement like we saw recently in France?And last: a new study shows that some cities are grossly under-reporting their carbon emissions. Do cities even have the resources to measure them properly?

In the shadow of public impeachment hearings, a group of House Democrats is attempting to advance a bold climate action plan that the entire party can rally around. On Thursday, House members introduced legislation that would set a nationwide goal of achieving a 100 percent clean energy economy by 2050. The bill was announced with more than 150 co-sponsors.In this episode of Political Climate, we conduct an exclusive in-depth interview with one of the bill’s authors, Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY). Tonko serves as chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's environment and climate change subcommittee, where he’s been holding hearings for several weeks to flesh out what a 100 percent clean economy would look like. "There is a lot going on beyond the impeachment inquiries that have begun, and the people need to know that," Tonko said.We ask Rep. Tonko about the newly introduced 100% Clean Economy Act of 2019 and get his outlook on how to get the bill to the president's desk. Plus, we get his thoughts on extending clean energy tax credits and what he makes of the Republican stance on climate policy. (Interview segment begins 13:50)This week’s show opens with a first-hand account of what happened at the California Democratic State Convention, and with takeaways from a lunch with Southern Republican lawmakers touring California for tips on how to grow their local clean energy sectors.

US Congressman Earl Blumenauer returns to share the state of the Rohrabacher Blumenauer Amendment as well as his thoughts on the fact that over 20M people have a relationship with cannabis each month. This has led to a shift and hardening of public opinion in support of legalizing the plant. Congressman Blumenauer feels that there is a good chance that there will be movement specifically on 280E as there are so many 'tax vehicles' being discussed. And if you're listening and are a constituent of anyone in house leadership, the Congressman urges you to write, call and go down to that office to share your thoughts.

Congressman Earl Blumenauer joins us, discussing bowties, bicycles and of course- cannabis. He represents Portland, Oregon home to both medical and adult-use cannabis. The congressman says diving into the issue of cannabis in the 1970’s was fascinating. He didn’t and doesn’t understand the notion of criminalizing something not harmful. He describes it as lunacy. He was there when Oregon was the very first state to decriminalize cannabis and he continues to fight for complete legalization through the newly formed Cannabis Caucus. The congressman discusses banking for cannabis, cannabis taxation through 280E and the fact that we ought to stop the roadblocks to cannabis research. The cannabis caucus is working on all of these issues and more.
