The Seattle Times Editorial Board: Initiative 2117

The Seattle Times Editorial Board interviews proponents and opponents of Initiative 2117.

Initiative Measure No. 2117 concerns carbon tax credit trading. This measure would prohibit state agencies from imposing any type of carbon tax credit trading, and repeal legislation establishing a cap and invest program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This measure would decrease funding for investments in transportation, clean air, renewable energy, conservation, and emissions-reduction.
