The deeply flawed money grift called the CCA - a hidden gas tax posing as an environmental program was supposed to exempt farmers and ranchers from the tax (that remember Jay INslee said would have no impact)

This rings hollow when you are taking money from public unions including those from Portland and California…..
Oh and you didn’t mention that when they funded a lawsuit to get rid of the initiatives, mums the word from the AG’s office… I am sure it is just a koinkidink
I'm committed to fighting for Washington families as Governor — not special interests.
I'm not taking a cent from large corporations or corporate PACs in my people-powered campaign for Governor.

WA has the 3rd highest gas price in the nation this spring… one of the reasons we have more expensive gas is the CCA Hidden Gas Tax. But if that causes you and your family financial hardship, well that is just a price Jay Inslee is willing for you to pay….
