As we approach Earth Day, @WAPolicyGreen shares some good news regarding honeybees.
As state's CO2 tax prepares to face voters, the Inslee Administration is using taxpayer funds to campaign for it. Entities using CO2 tax revenue are required to post a state-created logo and include political talking points promoting the law. 😑 #waleg washingtonpolicy.org/publications/d…

Farmers will get $30 million in rebates for carbon taxes from Democrats in Olympia they should've been exempted from. It's estimated these regressive taxes cost farmers hundreds of millions. However, the exemption still isn't fixed and needs to be. #waleg ow.ly/LQXZ50QUTge

Dear PSE Natural Gas customers -AN UPDATE, Last night, Legislative Democrats AGAIN voted in favor of HB 1589 around 2:00 am, effectively banning natural gas, forcing you to electrify your home costing YOU $30,700 to $74,400, AND raise YOUR energy costs - or you lose your power.…
The final budget includes the $200 payments to utility customers from CCA funds. Grants must be paid by Sept 15, 2024. Contrary to claims from House leaders who said if I-2117 passed the money for payments would be gone, it spends all $150 million before the election. #waleg
