"As
a
utility
regulator, Olson nearly
succeeded
in
killing
clean
energy
rules
that
could
have
boosted
solar,
energy
efficiency
and
other
clean
power
sources.
When
the
rules
were
revived,
the
requirements
were
weaker
than
they
otherwise
would
have
been
because
of
Olson’s
opposition." |

"Justin Olson, an elected utility regulator in Arizona, holds a second job as the Chief Financial Officer of Turning Point USA, a right-wing organization which has come under fire since its political arm sponsored the “March for Trump” rally in Washington, D.C. that preceded the violent and deadly riot and invasion of the U.S. Capitol building on January 6." |
|
"Turning Point USA (TPUSA) has denied having any role in the rally and has condemned the violence that immediately followed it, saying that only its political affiliate, Turning Point Action, was a sponsor. The CEO and founder of both Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, Charlie Kirk, deleted a tweet boasting of “sending 80+ buses full of patriots to fight for this president.”" |

"Arizona
Corporation
Commissioner Justin
Olson took
talking
points
on
renewable
energy
and
environmental
programs
provided
by
Arizona
Public
Service
Co.
and
cited
them,
often
verbatim,
to a
Wall
Street
analyst
who
was
seeking
information
about
his
views
as a
regulator.
[...]
An
EPI
official
and
one
of
Olson's
political
rivals
said
the
reciting
of
APS
policy
positions
shows
Olson
can't
be
objective
when
deciding
rates
and
other
policies
for
the
company." |

PLEASE NOTE: A "Yes" vote would allow ranch dogs to be neglected or abandoned, killed and tortured. It would allow the owner of a ranch dog to inflict unnecessary injury to the animal and not provide medical attention. |
