Beware the deceptive and very last minute anti-732 campaign.

Vote YES on initiative 732. The Carbon Tax is really neutral as our sales taxes and other taxes will be reduced by the amount of carbon tax collected. The big coal companies and the big environmental groups - like the Sierra Club - are both campaigning against 732. My. What more evidence do we, as conservatives or liberals, need to vote YES.

​Suddenly - starting yesterday, Thursday, Nov 3 - these vaguely worded ads started appearing on websites we go to. A New York outfit is running them. We will be weeks after the election before we find out whose money funded this. Yes, our Washington Public Disclosure laws have been watered down and under funded by the legislature for 44 years until they are totally ineffective.

Why would the Sierra Club be against 732? Because it does not punish corporations. Uber enviros do not want to just improve our environment and make it safer - they also have an agenda to harm corporations for perceived past wrongs. 732 is a great and beautifully formulated bill that will not raise our taxes while promoting pollution cleanup - and not harm corporations or citizens or local economies. It will simply make it more expensive for the big polluters. Let them pay for their pollution. The American way to do things.

I am posting a longer version of this blog over in the articles column so that readers can comment. But this blog is to flag the very last minute, vague and fear tactic campaign started yesterday.
