Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski moves the state Department of Environmental Quality to impose California's strict emission standards. The move automatically brings Washington state to the same standards, which pledged to adopt the rules if Oregon did. Along with several Eastern states, roughly one third of the nations population will be governed by the stricter rules.
