Ferguson Doubles Down On Climate Tax Keeping WA Gas At $6 A Gallon

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson is standing firm on the Climate Commitment Act — the state's cap-and-trade scheme Republicans argue functions as a hidden 60-cent-per-gallon gas tax — even as Washington drivers face some of the highest pump prices in the nation. With regular gas pushing $6 in Seattle and GOP lawmakers demanding Ferguson suspend the CCA, he has refused to move, choosing climate ideology over the economic reality hammering working families at every fill-up.Republicans say the math is straightforward: kill the Climate Commitment Act, and Washingtonians get nearly 60 cents back on every gallon immediately. Instead, Ferguson is defending a program that drains billions from the pockets of the people who can least afford it — low-income commuters, small business owners, working-class families — then funnels that money into climate projects with no measurable impact on global temperatures. It is a regressive tax dressed up in green language.The contrast could not be sharper. Indiana Governor Mike Braun just gave his residents the lowest gas prices in the country. One governor delivers relief; the other lectures constituents about their carbon footprint while they run the math on whether they can afford to fill the tank. Blue-state climate policy has a price, and in Washington it is posted right there on the pump.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode.#California #InsuranceCrisis #CostOfLivingGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
