Independent sources, such as Washington Policy Center and Washington Research Council (WRC) estimate that based on the August 31st auction price, the compliance costs for this program are adding 50 cents per gallon to the cost to manufacture gasoline and 62 cents per gallon to the cost to manufacture diesel. The Seattle Times reports that the Department of Ecology has collected almost $1.5 Billion in compliance costs so far this year. These costs are on track to be at least four times higher than originally estimated when the legislature voted cap-and-trade into law. I urge you to work with your legislative colleagues to fix this flawed program to make it work as intended in meeting our climate goals without placing enormous cost burdens on Washington families, small businesses, family farmers and working people across our state.HiddenRepresentative Emails PhoneThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
