Watch the latest video about Initiative 2117

Let’s Go Washington has released a new video about Initiative 2117. I-2117 repeals  Washington’s Climate Commitment Act and prohibits the state from enacting similar programs. The CCA’s cap-and-invest program added about 43 cents to a gallon of gas and about 53 cents to diesel in the first year after it went into effect, according to the Washington Policy Center.

According to AAA, Washington’s gas prices average $4.27/gallon — meaning Washington drivers pay over $.75 more than the national average.

At the BIAW Summer Board meeting, the Washington Affordable Housing Council voted to endorse I-2117 as well as two others introduced by Let’s Go Washington.
