Inslee signs five climate-change bills
Capital Press ^ | May 8, 2019 | Don Jenkins

Five climate-change bills signed Tuesday by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee will mandate renewable power, subsidize electric vehicles, require buildings to be remodeled and dictate how energy air compressors, generators and other appliances use.

Inslee, a Democratic candidate for president who has made global warming the focus of his campaign, signed the bills at a park in Seattle. The package will put Washington at the forefront of defeating climate change, he said.

"Let the word go forth, from this time and place, that from today forward, Washington state is leading in the effort to defeat climate change," Inslee said.

The bill signings capped a 2019 legislative session that saw the Democratic-controlled House and Senate pass legislation to cut greenhouse gases. The bills received little support from Republicans, who warned that the package will intrude on individuals and do nothing to influence the climate.

Democrats introduced legislation in step with the aspirations of the Green New Deal, which Inslee has endorsed. Several major proposals that would have advanced the goal of eliminating fossil fuels from the economy failed.

We are so damned glad to be out of that state we thank God everyday for being home in Alabama. My wife grew up in Seattle and spent most of her life there. We married way back in the old days of the early 1990s. My wife was ready to hit the road. She had seen a wonderful place to live as a kid growing up and as a young to middle aged woman only to see it destroyed by liberals. She said Seattle was once a great place to live, without liberals and homosexuals, illegals, communists, socialists, yada, yada. Now, she is happy to be gone.

This guy is a dirt bag as far as I am concerned. I wake up every morning hoping to hear he has passed on and Hades rules his world for eternity.

What is more detrimental to good health: CO 2 in the air or s**t in the streets? Gov. Inslee says it’s the former.

I see a lot of companies moving to Idaho

I'd like to see one big state of Idaho, Eastern WA and Alberta (except for Redmonton).

when he speaks, I need Dramamine just to watch his convoluted mouth and tongue go all over the place. Something’s a bit off there...

“Let the word go forth, from this time and place”

Plagiarized from JFK...

Well - it IS against the law to catch rain water without a permit! (Seriously.)

Yeah, I heard about that. If the Founders had been told that such a thing would happen, they would have reached only one conclusion: Britain has reconquered the colonies. And America was once again governed by tyrants.

Washington State: Get woke; go broke. I only care because in the Eastern part of the state there are some good conservative folk. Seattle can fall off into the ocean for all I care.

“Washington state was a nice place to grow up several decades ago.”

Before Ted Bundy, The Hillside Strangler relocating from Cally, and The Green River Killer?

I lived near the Willipa Bay in the sixties, so yes, before the wretches you mention.

This is all about driving out the middle class so the elites and the homeless can have the state to themselves and be exempt from any of these envirowacko laws.

There. Fixed it.

This klown:

The same guy who REPEALED a voter passed anti-Affirmative Action initiative last week.

In other words, a crass ass who screams "It's all whitey's fault!" while being guilty of being the biggest dimbulb cracker of them all.

No he sounds like Jack Kennedy in his inauguration speech in 1961. Look it up, you’ll see.

It’s kind of a jump ball as to which is the biggest hoax of all time...Russian collusion or global warming.

Can Inslee’s wimpy coterie of fascist antifa defeat the Proud Boys? All extant youtube videos of street brawls say NO!
