Jared Whitley joins Light Beer Dark Money to make the case for repealing the Renewable Fuel Standard — the 2005 Washington mandate that forces refiners to blend renewable fuels into America's fuel supply or buy compliance credits. What started as a promise to reduce foreign oil dependence and help the environment has become something much more familiar: a federal program that outlived its purpose, protected the politically connected, and quietly made life more expensive for the people who can least afford it. And, it actually hurts the environment. Jared argues the RFS is now a hidden tax at the pump, driving up fuel costs while Congress pretends it has no role in the pain Americans feel every time they fill up. Sean and Jared break down how ethanol politics, Iowa caucus mythology, Renewable Identification Numbers, and Washington's fear of touching farm-state sacred cows have kept the RFS alive long after America became an energy powerhouse. They also talk about why repealing the RFS would be a real, immediate pro-consumer move: no new bureaucracy, no new subsidy, no gimmick — just stop forcing Americans to pay more for gas. The conversation also turns to the lost art of governing. Jared and Sean discuss how leaders like Orrin Hatch and Ted Kennedy could remain completely true to their principles while still finding ways to solve problems for the American people. That kind of serious legislating is rare today, but it should not be impossible. Sean closes with a simple call to action: call your member of Congress and tell them it is time to repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Washington's gas tax climbs again on July 1, 2026 — the first automatic increase under ESHB 2711, signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson. Bob Pishue of the Mountain States Policy Center argues the inflation-indexed hike bypasses legislative accountability while Washingtonians already pay $5.34 per gallon versus $4.24 in Idaho. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-washington-states-gas-tax-is-going-up-in-july-and-will-automatically-increase-yearly-thats-a-big-problem/ #WashingtonState #GasTax #Transportation #Politics #Opinion #Columns #ESHB2711 #FuelTax #ClarkCounty #MountainStatesPolicy

Washington's per-gallon gas tax climbs from 55.4 cents to 56.5 cents on July 1 — the first annual inflationary increase under a 2025 law — pushing the state behind only California and Pennsylvania. Despite the hike, state economist Dave Reich projects transportation revenue will run $130 million short for the 2027–29 budget, with fuel tax collections declining as EV adoption grows. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/washingtons-gas-tax-is-going-up-but-state-transportation-revenue-is-falling-short/ #WashingtonState #GasTax #Transportation #ClarkCounty #FuelPrices #TransportationBudget #WashingtonBudget #BobFerguson #EVs #PublicPolicy

Washington drivers already paying $1.45 per gallon above the national average face an automatic 2% gas tax increase starting July 1 — the first step in a new inflation-indexed annual hike. GasBuddy's Patrick De Haan warns the mechanism will permanently widen the gap between Washington and the rest of the country, regardless of any relief from the Iran deal. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/business/washington-gas-prices-stay-high-despite-iran-deal-as-automatic-tax-hike-looms/ #WashingtonState #GasTax #FuelPrices #Transportation #ClarkCounty #Politics #Business #PacificNorthwest #Iran #GasBuddy

URSULA'S TOP STORIES: Gov. Ferguson won't suspend gas tax // Layoffs at famous "no layoffs" firm // Seattle blocks data centers // Another iconic restaurant is closing. Should we blame the usual suspects? // How low can college sports go?

Hundreds of Seattle residents marched along Aurora Avenue North over the weekend, demanding action on crime, prostitution, sex trafficking, and repeated shootings in the area. Residents say public safety conditions have deteriorated and are calling on city leaders to respond. The demonstrations come just days before Seattle hosts its first World Cup match, with some officials warning that international trafficking activity often follows major global sporting events. Meanwhile, Mayor Katie Wilson has reversed course and approved activation of surveillance cameras near the stadium district after pressure from public safety advocates. The episode also examines Washington's gas prices and the ongoing debate over whether the Climate Commitment Act is adding more than 50 cents per gallon to fuel costs. Critics continue to call for temporary tax relief while the governor's office defends the state's climate policies.  #Seattle #WorldCup #PublicSafety #Crime #AuroraAvenue #KatieWilson #SeattlePolitics #GasPrices #CCA #WashingtonPolitics #TrafficKing #WorldCup2026 #SeattleNews #WashingtonState #TheCenterSquare Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on Political Breakfast, we're talking about party unity, and endorsements pouring-in as the dust settles from Georgia's May primary elections. U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff and Georgia's Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Keisha Lance Bottoms, are joining forces ahead of the general election in November. Is the entire Democratic base united to support the former Atlanta Mayor? If elected, Bottoms would become the first Black woman to take the state's highest office. On the Republican side, unity is dicey. That's as political outsider and billionaire healthcare CEO Rick Jackson and current Lt. Gov. Burt Jones prepare for a June 16th runoff. The winner with face Bottoms in November. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam break all this down. Plus, Republicans are now having mixed feelings about redrawing Georgia's district lines. And Georgia's gas tax suspension has ended. Now Georgians are rushing to fill up their tanks, before those prices at the pumps creep-up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oregonians overwhelmingly voted against Measure 120, a proposal meant to address funding shortfalls for the Oregon Department of Transportation.   Known as the gas tax, the measure would have increased the state’s gas tax by 6 cents per gallon, temporarily hike payroll tax, and double fees for registrations and titles. Without the tax, the agency only has funding to support core services until the end of 2027. Daniel Porter is ODOT's Finance and Budget Division Administrator. He joins us to share how he’s thinking about the future of the agency’s budget.  

The primary election is over. Oregon voters shot down a statewide gas tax proposal and Christine Drazan won the Republican nod for governor. That sets up a rematch between Drazan and Gov. Tina Kotek. On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, reporters Bryce Dole, Lauren Dake and Elizabeth Miller dive into the local taxes that did pass and explain what we can glean from the election and the gubernatorial rematch. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.  

 Oregon voters resoundingly rejected a statewide ballot measure that would have raised the state gas tax from 40 to 46 cents and  doubled car title and registration fees to help fund road maintenance and other transportation projects. Measure 120 was widely expected to fail, especially as gas prices continue to soar in Oregon and across the nation.   Last year, Gov. Tina Kotek and Democrats in the Legislature approved a bill that included the gas tax and fee hikes, but Republican lawmakers succeeded in raising enough signatures to put the issue before voters. Democrats, however, countered by ensuring the measure appeared on the May ballot instead of in November, when Gov. Kotek is up for reelection.    Gov. Kotek will now face Republican state Sen. Christine Drazan in a rematch of the 2022 gubernatorial race. On Tuesday, Republican voters selected Drazan to be their gubernatorial nominee over former Portland Trail Blazer Chris Dudley, state Rep. Ed Diehl and other candidates.    OPB political reporter Lauren Dake joins us for more details about Drazan’s victory and the failed gas tax measure.

On the May 18th edition: The temporary suspension of Georgia's gas tax has been extended; Two Georgia Supreme Court candidates have been accused of misconduct; And Emory University's School of Medicine is expanding access to clinical trials.
