Washington state residents are feeling the pinch at the pump as gas prices skyrocket, reaching the second-highest in the nation at an average of $4.23 per gallon. This surge, a 40-cent increase in just one month, is largely attributed to the state's gas tax and Climate Commitment Act (CCA), which adds approximately 40-50 cents per gallon. Critics, including KIRO host Gee Scott, point out that working families are disproportionately affected, facing tough choices between essential trips and getting to work. Despite billions raised by the CCA since 2021, the state has yet to provide concrete data on its environmental impact, raising concerns about transparency and the true cost of these climate policies. Former Governor Jay Inslee's promise of 'pennies' is now a distant memory as Washington drivers face some of the highest gas prices in the country.
