The president’s schedule will be busy on Friday as he will spend some time in Seattle talking about the environment on Earth Day.
The Washington Post reports President Biden will sign an executive order to take inventory of the nation’s old-growth forests and craft policies to protect them.
He is also expected to visit Green River College, an invitation-only event, to talk about fighting climate change and lowering the cost of prescription drugs. “He’s going to be talking about some of those measures that we want to take, to put more money in people’s pocket,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Chris Meagher said in a Zoom meeting.“The idea that president Biden is coming to tout how he’s saving families money, I think is dishonest at best,” Washington State Republican Party Chairman Caleb Heimlich said.
Before the president arrived in Seattle, he stopped in Portland, Oregon, and gave a speech about infrastructure spending, including an earthquake-resilient runway that is coming to the city’s airport. “The last guy who had this job talked about infrastructure week, every week he’d talk about infrastructure week. It didn’t come for four years. Well, I gave you infrastructure decade, this is for 10 years,” the president said in part.“We need to get off this roller coaster of relying on oil. We need to declare America’s energy independence. We need to accelerate our path to clean, renewable energy.
