Later that day at 18:02 UTC, he commented on state fuel prices and legislative policy: “If you’re wondering why Oregon is one of only seven states with gas prices over $3 a gallon, ask an Oregon Democrat legislator about the cost of their “clean fuel” gas taxes. https://t.co/XMWmG6jvoA”.
In a tweet posted at 21:42 UTC on January 14, Bentz thanked industry representatives for a policy discussion: “Thank you to Agri Beef for joining me this morning to discuss the importance of advancing wolf delisting legislation, the critical role of medium-sized packers, and how we can continue to provide affordable, high-quality beef for all Americans! https://t.co/GNJdvaH8ri”.
