I-1631 would create a new energy tax that would force Washington families and consumers to pay more than $2.3 billion in higher costs for gasoline and heating fuel, and hundreds of millions more in higher energy bills for electricity and natural gas. I-1631’s new energy tax would automatically increase every year, with no cap.

Small business owner Sabrina Jones explains that why, Initiative 1631 is a deeply flawed and poorly written proposal – claiming to reduce pollution but exempting many of the state’s largest polluters. I-1631 places the cost burden of its new $2.3 billion energy tax on Washington families and small businesses.
