Republicans Push to Pause Climate Act | Spokane News

Washington State Republicans are pushing for a special legislative session to pause the Climate Commitment Act, blaming it for soaring gas prices and calling it an unfair hidden tax that doesn’t fix roads. Eight senators have now formally requested the governor to call the session, though Democrats hold the majority and could block it.
