Uh oh. Will they be exempt?

Something happened yesterday that we think you should be aware of. Governor Jay Inslee channeled President Obama by signing an executive order to create a carbon tax task force under the guise of lowering carbon emissions. This is Governor Inslee’s first step in implementing a carbon tax — a gas tax that could reach $1.17 per gallon.

David Roberts of Grist magazine (an environmental rag) believes Inslee will have to use executive orders to get his way, which he has just shown he is willing to do. Roberts says, "He wants to act, but he's got no Republicans in the legislature on his side, so if he gets anything done, it's going to be through executive powers."

The task force Inslee just created by executive decree is filled with his political allies and industries that will financially benefit from a carbon tax. They are a bunch of second-string puppets Inslee can hide behind while acting as first-string puppet for the “green” agenda of Tom Steyer — the liberal billionaire that is pumping millions of dollars into our state to elect environmental extremists.
