Rep. Joe Schmick on KONA radio discusses his bill to reimburse farmers for cap-and-trade expenses on their fuel bills; the voluntary riparian bill; and public safety

February 14, 2023

Schmick's bill, House Bill 1780, would force the state to reimburse farmers for cap-and-trade expenses until DOE complies with the law and creates rules that protect farmers. He also discusses the voluntary riparian program, House Bill 1720, and why voluntary is better than regulatory when it comes to riparian buffers. He also discusses public safety issues.
