Heraldo y Noticias<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nLos residentes del condado de Klamath acudieron en masa para tener la oportunidad de hablar y escuchar a un senador estadounidense esta semana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El viernes 16 de junio, el senador estadounidense Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) organiz\u00f3 su asamblea p\u00fablica anual para el condado de Klamath, celebrada en Oregon Tech. Cada a\u00f1o, Merkley visita los 36 condados de Oreg\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aplaudido por su compromiso con las comunidades rurales como las de Klamath Basin, Merkley agradeci\u00f3 los aportes de sus electores, respondiendo a las preocupaciones apremiantes presentadas por los residentes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durante una conferencia de prensa previa al ayuntamiento, Merkley le cont\u00f3 al Herald & News sobre algunos de los elementos que encabezan su lista para el condado de Klamath y la zona rural de Oreg\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El senador tambi\u00e9n coment\u00f3 sobre el pr\u00f3ximo cambio de los aviones de combate F-15 a los F-35 para la base a\u00e9rea de Kingsley, y se\u00f1al\u00f3 los impactos econ\u00f3micos positivos del cambio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entre sus esfuerzos recientes, Merkley destac\u00f3 los $162 millones obtenidos para mejorar la calidad del agua en los lagos del condado de Klamath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSi el lago est\u00e1 en mejores condiciones, es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil compartir el agua para el riego\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cLa cantidad de dinero que estamos invirtiendo en los peces Koptu y C'waam. Si est\u00e1n mejor, podemos hacer mucho m\u00e1s\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley dijo que la disminuci\u00f3n de la disponibilidad de agua es una circunstancia desafortunada pero inevitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLa realidad es que este a\u00f1o ha sido un buen a\u00f1o, pero no todos son buenos a\u00f1os\u201d, dijo. \u201cVoy a seguir tratando de obtener la mayor cantidad de apoyo financiero posible para la cuenca a medida que nos adaptamos a la nueva realidad de menos precipitaciones y una capa de nieve m\u00e1s peque\u00f1a en promedio\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durante el Ayuntamiento, los miembros de la comunidad tambi\u00e9n mencionaron el tema del cambio clim\u00e1tico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wendy Williams quer\u00eda saber si el presidente Joe Biden ten\u00eda alguna intenci\u00f3n de declarar el cambio clim\u00e1tico una emergencia nacional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley asegur\u00f3 a Williams que est\u00e1 presionando a la campa\u00f1a de Biden para que tome el tema en serio y act\u00fae de inmediato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carl Andrews pregunt\u00f3 sobre la propuesta de construir una nueva instalaci\u00f3n de paneles solares a 25 millas al este de Klamath Falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 piensas sobre eso y por qu\u00e9 es importante en el condado de Klamath?\u201d pregunt\u00f3 Andrews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEstamos viendo un gran impacto de la acumulaci\u00f3n de carbono en la atm\u00f3sfera\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cHa producido nuestra temporada de incendios. Ha producido m\u00e1s sequ\u00eda, menos acumulaci\u00f3n de nieve, corrientes de salm\u00f3n y truchas m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as y c\u00e1lidas\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley dijo que la tasa de carbono introducido en la atm\u00f3sfera se ha m\u00e1s que triplicado en los \u00faltimos 30 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMe gustar\u00eda decir que hemos dado la vuelta a la esquina, pero no lo hemos hecho\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cEstamos siendo golpeados en la silvicultura, la agricultura y la pesca, los tres pilares de la econom\u00eda rural. Tenemos que pasar r\u00e1pidamente de las energ\u00edas basadas en el carbono a las renovables\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El tema de la rendici\u00f3n de cuentas de la Corte Suprema tambi\u00e9n lleg\u00f3 a la sala, lo que provoc\u00f3 una fuerte desaprobaci\u00f3n del senador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El juez de la Corte Suprema Clarence Thomas apareci\u00f3 recientemente en los titulares cuando ProPublica revel\u00f3 viajes de lujo secretos que le regal\u00f3 el multimillonario promotor inmobiliario Harlan Crow durante los \u00faltimos 20 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEn una rep\u00fablica, dependemos de la integridad de las urnas\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cPero la estructura est\u00e1 preparada para los poderosos. Apoya la guerra partidista y apoya la par\u00e1lisis. Tenemos que reformar el Senado\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuando se invit\u00f3 a los estudiantes de Oregon Tech a hacerle preguntas al senador, algunos preguntaron sobre los esfuerzos para aumentar los fondos federales para la educaci\u00f3n postsecundaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley reconoci\u00f3 la lucha financiera para pagar la educaci\u00f3n superior que sienten muchas familias en todo el pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLos estudiantes en otros pa\u00edses como Alemania no tienen que preocuparse por asumir una deuda de $80,000\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cHe escuchado de padres que no est\u00e1n seguros de que deber\u00edan animar a sus hijos a ir a la universidad. Pero creo que el \u00e9xito de las naciones alrededor del mundo en este siglo va a depender de nuestra inversi\u00f3n en infraestructura y educaci\u00f3n\u201d, dijo Merkley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley tambi\u00e9n felicit\u00f3 a Klamath Community College por crear un programa comercial de licencias de conducir, financiado por una subvenci\u00f3n federal de $200,000.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
