Governor Establishes Task Force as Way To Prod Legislature on Climate Change

摘要

Response to the creation by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) of a task force charged with recommending a way to put a cap on carbon reflects divisions in state politics, as Republicans immediately voiced their opposition. Groups ranging from the Sierra Club to the Quinault Indian Nation applauded Inslee for creating the Carbon Emissions Reduction Taskforce, which will give the governor legislative recommendations by Nov. 21 for the 2015 session.
