Kathy Castor

Will The House Dems Let Us Down... On Climate Change?

On Friday at dawn, Politico published an interview with Kathy Castor chair of the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis behind a paywall. Is she going to be a force for good or another foot-dragging corporatist who inadvertently helps destroy humanity? I know what she thinks (and what Pelosi thinks and what the corpus of the establishment Democratic Party thinks, but... are they doing enough... will they?

Bribe? Campaign Contribution? What's The Difference? And Who Defines The Difference?

Pelosi is going to establish another select Committee on Climate Change and appoint Tampa Democrat Kathy Castor as chair instead of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As I've mentioned, Castor is relatively (even very) scrupulous about not taking money from industries she takes part in writing legislation for unlike most of her colleagues.
