Next Thursday, join our senior researcher Kristin Eberhard to talk about carbon pricing possibilities for Oregon. The League of Women Voters of Corvallis is hosting a public forum with a great panel of speakers to lay out some smart climate policy for the Beaver State. Joining Kristin will be Jeff Renfro, senior economist at Portland State University’s Northwest Economic Research Center (NERC); Jenny Liu, assistant director at NERC; and Nancy Shurtz, professor at University of Oregon’s law school. There will be a Q&A following the panelists’ remarks, so bring a notebook and some hard questions, because this crew can definitely accommodate.

When: Thursday, November 20, 2014, 7 p.m.
Where: OSU Linus Pauling Science Center, Room 125 (map)
Tickets: The event is free and open to the public, no pre-registration required.
Host: League of Women Voters of Corvallis, Oregon
