A vote for our children’s future | LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:

I voted today.

There are a lot of candidates and initiatives on the ballot that haven’t blown up Twitter or been spoofed on SNL, yet deserve attention. One of those is I-732. After studying that one and listening to some people I know and respect, I voted YES on 732.

Why? It’s a simple and fair, market-based, revenue-neutral way to address climate change. It has bipartisan support (and some bipartisan opposition which tells me the measure is in the sensible center). It cuts the sales tax for all of us — families and businesses; and it puts a price on carbon emissions, holding polluters accountable for the cost they impose on all of us and accelerating progress to clean energy solutions. This one was a vote for the future of my kids. If you live in beautiful, breathable Washington state, I hope you too will

vote YES on I-732.
