Not surprised. As a home builder who grew up using green building practices I have watched the industry take over code writing in CA much to the detriment of homeowners.
Product makers and industry leaders should not be writing building codes nor fighting the public on climate change but that’s what you get when you install incompetent pricks who paid for their campaign by catering to the industry to public office.
I genuinely wish that campaign funding via donations, PACs, Super PACs, etc was illegal. Make some campaign tax that pulls in roughly the value that these industries were dumping into bribing politicians anyway, but now evenly distribute those funds to each candidate in the running.
The industries would obviously throw hissy fits about this because they couldn’t have their little puppets in congress anymore, but it’d do so much for giving government back to the people
