Loading ...When it comes to climate change, it’s ‘Washington’s hour to shine,’ Inslee says during annual address
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee used his State of the State address Tuesday to hammer his signature issue: climate change.
Doubling down on his previous statements at a press conference last week, Inslee stressed the importance of tackling climate change in Washington. Policies he proposes would steeply cut emissions and help the state transition to 100 percent clean electricity by 2035, Inslee said.
“This is the 11th hour, but it is Washington’s hour to shine,” said Inslee, who is exploring a 2020 presidential run. “It’s a time of great peril but also of great promise.”
Hundreds of lawmakers and spectators gathered at the Capitol to hear the address.
