I have been a supporter of the Clean Energy Works program from the beginning and am pleased that Recovery Act funding will enable the program to further impact families and businesses in Oregon.&nbsp; This program is really a model for how we can create jobs in communities across the state and nation. With the legislation I have introduced &ndash; Home Star, Building Star and the Rural Energy Savings Program &ndash; the model developed here in Oregon will be expanded nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Again, I commend the great work of the City of Portland and its partners with the State of Oregon and look forward to the great benefits that this award will have on our economy and community.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portland, OR &ndash;
