The main plank of Gov. Jay Inslee’s efforts to fight climate change died late Thursday afternoon in the Washington State Senate.
“We were one or two votes short,” said Sen. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, the sponsor of the bill to create the nation’s first pure carbon emissions tax. Inslee and Carlyle counted the votes Thursday afternoon and learned they had fewer than the 25 senators needed to pass the bill.
