Voters need to consider that gas prices are mostly set by crude oil costs, refining costs, and distribution and marketing (“Backers of I-2117 slash gas prices at Vancouver station to highlight impact of climate act,” The Columbian, Sept. 6). Repealing the Climate Commitment Act will not lower the cost of gas. Without it, the burden of paying for the impacts of pollution by oil and gas corporations will move from those responsible to our local communities and families.
How is repealing the Climate Commitment Act getting the costs “off the backs of commuters … working class …”? It will do the opposite. Vote “no” on Initiative 2117.
