Letter: Fight against climate is costly

By John Molenaar, Vancouver
Published: May 1, 2024, 6:00am

Once in a while on TV you can see pictures of a gas station in another state. Almost always the price is $1 less than what we in Washington pay. Someone (why not all?) should ask Mr. Jay Inslee, the governor, why this is? He will tell you it’s his climate change fight. Does he think 6 million Washingtonians can change anything, while 3 billion people (India and China, the largest polluters on the planet) pollute all they want?

Our governor seems to know better and Washington taxpayers pay the freight. Think who you vote for.
