On this day, May 20, 1976, Trojan Nuclear Power Plant began operating, generating 1,130 megawatts, and operating until 1993, well before the end of its useful life. The plant was plagued with mechanical problems and, as time went on, public opinion against the plant began to pile up. Though two ballot measures were defeated in 1992 at great expense to PGE, the majority owener of the plant, PGE mothballed the plant a year later.
Critics are asking for more information.
As
reported on this site yesterday, the Sherwood School District published materials on its website, encouraging staff to "vote for Democrats" and engage in other explicitly political activity. Late yesterday, they removed the link to some of the offending materials. Today, they have
issued an apology, which is reproduced, here.
Statement on Resource Materials
On June 4th, the Sherwood School District released a statement to our students, staff, and families expressing our horror at the tragic death of George Floyd and countless others before him, as well as our commitment to acting as anti-racist leaders. We stand by that statement and our commitment has not wavered.
In that statement, we provided several links for both families and for our staff. Regrettably, we included a resource for staff that we did not thoroughly vet, which made suggestions about how to vote in the upcoming election. We deeply regret the error of including this resource, and removed the link immediately once it was brought to our attention. We apologize for this error.
The Sherwood School District
Some critics have called this kind of activity "deep state" activity and are asking that the school district take action against the person responsible for this illegal activity.
