Abstract:
On January 29, 2009, Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire and legislative leaders announced a $500 million package of climate-change legislation that would "create jobs, expand [Washington's] green economy, and make important progress toward energy independence." The legislature adjourned without passing any of it.
