Things are heating up in Olympia -- and not just the weather
OLYMPIA, April 14, 2021 — Good Wednesday morning. Tensions are rising in the virtual corridors of the state Capitol as lawmakers near the close of the session.
Nowhere is it higher than on a proposed low-carbon fuel standard as Senate and House Democrats square off on the final constructs of legislation.
The Democrat-led Senate approved House Bill 1091 last week. This was a big deal because similar measures sent over from House Democrats in 2019 and 2020 never reached the Senate floor.
Senate Democrats put their imprint on it before passing it 27-22. As I reported Monday, five of them then sent a letter to the bill’s author, Democratic Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon, demanding he not mess with their handiwork if he wants it to make it to the finish line this session.
