Wouldn’t it be great if our schools had all the money they need and oil companies had to hold a bake sale to fund their tax loopholes?
Sen. Rodney Tom and his Republican caucus have refused to close the Big Oil tax loophole, so we decided to act. On Monday, we held a bake sale at the Capitol with a goal of selling 59 million brownies and cookies – enough to make up for the $59 million our schools lose to the Big Oil tax loophole.
The response from progressive legislators and activists at the Capitol was incredible. In the end, we raised $247 for the Education Legacy Trust Account, which unfortunately leaves our schools $58,999,753 short. We could bake a lot more cookies, but it would be easier for the Senate to close the Big Oil tax loophole and devote the funding to our schools.
Oil companies like BP and Shell are some of the most profitable in the world. They don’t need our taxpayers dollars. Our kids’ classrooms do. Will you share this graphic to spread the word about closing the Big Oil tax loophole?

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a new government agency created after the financial crisis
– Their mission is to make markets for consumer financial products and services work for Americans
— whether they are applying for a mortgage, choosing among credit cards, or using any number of other consumer financial products.
Above all, this means ensuring that consumers get the information they need to make the financial decisions they believe are best for themselves and their families—that prices are clear up-front, that risks are visible, and that nothing is buried in the fine print. In a market that works, consumers should be able to make direct comparisons among products and no provider should be able to use unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices.
