City Inside/Out: Climate Challenges
4/19/202427:36
Washington voters will decide this November whether to repeal the state’s landmark climate change policy, the 2021 Climate Commitment Act (CCA). Initiative 2117 supporters argue the CCA is a hidden gas tax that hurts consumers, but opponents say the cap and trade law requiring the state’s top polluters to pay for their greenhouse gas emissions by buying allowances is a good policy that will help the Evergreen State meets its 2050 climate goals.
Guests:
Joe Fitzgibbon, House Majority Leader & State Representative (D-34th)
Glen Morgan, Founder, We the Governed
Paula Sardinas, CEO, We Build Back Black Alliance
Jim Walsh, I-2117 Author & State Representative (R-19th)
Joel Creswell, Climate Pollution Reduction Program Manager, WA Dept. of Ecology
