Letter: Reject Initiative 2117

By Don Steinke, Vancouver

The Climate Commitment Act is essential for funding clean energy projects. Initiative 2117 seeks to repeal the Climate Commitment Act.

The state budget contains millions of dollars from the Climate Commitment Act for hydrogen fuel-cell buses in Clark County. Those buses will connect Salmon Creek and Hazel Dell to the Columbia waterfront with bus rapid transit along Highway 99.

We’ll be stuck with smelly diesel buses if I-2117 passes. If you don’t like smelling diesel exhaust, vote “no” on 2117. If you want jobs in the clean energy economy, vote “no” on 2117.
