Ralliers push back against Barrett bill
“HUDSON — Climate activists gathered outside Assemblywoman Didi Barrett’s, D-106, Hudson office Saturday to urge her to scrap a bill that would change the state’s accounting system for methane emissions.
Barrett’s introduction of the bill, which would align the state’s accounting system with international, federal and state-level governments, is roiling local climate action leaders who said they have been betrayed and blindsided by Barrett’s unexpected move.
“She’s doing the bidding of the fossil fuel industry,” said For the Many political coordinator Daniel Atonna.”
