Wind Turbine Invasion
Jason Shilling wants to do whatever he can to contribute a solution for the impending wind farm invasion. He believes the following is the solution:
-
Act as a representative for our state's conservative values and standards.
-
He understands that absurd consequences occur when politicians think they can manage the free market.
-
No more pouring our taxpayer dollars into unproven technologies. The state government allowed this problem to grow by subsidizing the wind industry for years.
-
Had it not been for the millions in zero emissions subsidies, about $70 million of which are still in the system and paying out, this probably wouldn't be an issue today.
-
Take on the wind industry and fight for a statewide moratorium on all federal government-subsidized wind farms.
-
Avoid government subsidy, even if it's a federal government subsidy, then this industry isn't operating in the free market; it's operating in violation of free market principles, and as with all state-managed economies, it's likely that an absurd outcome will result that will irreparably harm our state.
Bio Sludge
Get rid of bio-sludge dumping into HD 32 counties and keep Oklahoma farmlands healthy, productive and maintain their beauty.
As spring turns to summer trucks carrying tons of Oklahoma City's bio-sludge, a mix of human fecal matter and assorted bio-waste products, will most likely be rolling into rural Lincoln County to dump their toxic product.
Bio-sludge dumping has raised concerns among locals about the long-term impact on their health and property. Bio-sludge contains PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances substances), also known as “forever chemicals,” as well as pharmaceuticals, viruses, and heavy metals. And if you’re wondering why they’re called “forever chemicals,” it’s because they are nearly indestructible.*
Beyond the unbearable smell and headache inducing stench; it's also about soil and water pollution that could be irreversible. farms in Michigan and Maine have been shut down due to biosludge contamination, causing alarm among area landowners who fear they could lose the use of their property because of this practice.
In 2019 the Oklahoma County Farm Bureau approved a resolution calling for a moratorium on biosludge Senator Shane Jet has sponsored a series of bills in the Senate aimed at bringing transparency to this issue. One bill required proper testing for PFAS before application, but it was never approved.
Jason’s goal is to create awareness about biosludge dumping and get current practices under control if not eliminated.
Inactive Representation-NO MORE
During the 2023 session, the current state representative for house district 32, Kevin Wallace, finished first in the house for MISSED VOTES, out of 101 members. Wallace missed a total of 367 roll call votes.
What does this mean? Several things, first and most important, when legislators miss roll call it implies that they are not doing their job. The job the residents elected and paid to be done.
Second, missing roll call votes means that not only are the residents of house district 32 the least represented in the state, but they also can't hold Wallace accountable for his votes simply because, one out of three times, he simply didn't cast one.
High rates of missing votes can rightly be suspected of using this as a strategy to avoid accountability. It's known as “vote walking”, a political strategy often used to avoid accountability to their voters. 367 times last year alone, Wallace refused to perform the single most important aspect of his job.
When a representative fails to cast a vote and do the job we are paying him to do, we must deal with him the same as we would deal with any other underperforming employee and those who refused to do their job: we must let them go.
Jason Shilling is determined to make things right. casting votes is the most important job of a good legislator that's what they're paid to do. “That's why I'm running for state representative to provide our hard-working neighbors, who have strong work ethics and who would never refuse to do a third of their job, with the opportunity to elect someone who will really work for them.”
“I will be present, I will be active and I will cast votes that favor the desires of the people who electect me and trust me to stand for their desires and beliefs.”
