	"description": "Tualatin Hills Park &amp;amp; Recreation District (THPRD) is a community steward of nature, health, and environmental care. But THPRD currently shares a lobbyist with BP America, one of the world’s largest fossil fuel polluters. This isn’t just bad optics—it’s a dangerous contradiction that undermines THPRD’s conservation mission and erodes public trust in the institutions we rely on for local environmental leadership. Why It Matters: A new 50-state report card from F Minus gave Oregon a “D” for its weak lobbyist transparency laws. These loopholes allow fossil fuel lobbyists to represent both polluters and public institutions—often without full disclosure of the bills they work on or positions they take. In Q2 of 2025, for instance, Chevron reported paying more than $15,000 to the Proxy lobbying firm, while Proxy disclosed effectively none of its work on Chevron’s behalf. As F Minus director James Browning notes: “Greater transparency will make it harder for fossil fuel lobbyists to play both sides in the climate fight and help polluters greenwash their harm.” THPRD’s partnership with a firm that also represents BP America runs counter to its stated goals of stewardship and community well-being. Continuing to work with that firm tacitly supports fossil fuel interests—and gives them a social license to operate, even as the climate crisis worsens. Take action now: Send a letter to THPRD’s Board of Directors urging them to: Drop their current lobbyist over fossil fuel ties Adopt a permanent no fossil fuel lobbyist policy going forward Multnomah County has already taken action against fossil fuel companies. THPRD can—and should—do the same. Let’s protect the future of the Tualatin Hills and the people who call them home.",
