Friends,
Earlier this month, Governor Jay Inslee took an international to Australia and
Tasmania. Inslee led a delegation of 25 government officials and business leaders on this pricey trip. Their mission? Discussing climate change
initiatives.
Yes, you read that right, because climate change issues,
evidently, cannot be discussed over a Zoom call.
Evidently, for our dear
governor and his entourage, attention-getting climate change discussions required spending tens of thousands of taxpayers dollars and—oh, the
irony—leaving behind an enormous carbon footprint. According to Free Flight USA, one round-trip alone from Seattle to Sydney spews out 4.5
metric tons of CO2. Multiply that by 25, and congratulations, Inslee's posse gifted the atmosphere with a minimum of 112.5 metric tons of CO2. All so
they can talk about how much they care about climate change.
To offset
that colossal carbon footprint, one would have to be a vegetarian for 210 years or carpool exclusively for 110 years. But who needs facts when you've
got virtue signaling, right?
Of course, this isn't Inslee's first tango
with hypocrisy. Our green governor has a penchant for globe-trotting, all generously funded by us, the taxpayers. Maybe he's just racking up frequent
flyer miles for the planet. Who knows?
But let's get real. The data shows that Gov. Inslee's environmental record is disastrous.
Carbon emissions in our state have skyrocketed under his watch. His extreme green policies? Utter failures, unless you count the unsustainable tax
burden they've slapped on working families.
Adding insult to injury, now
that Inslee’s time as governor is coming to an end, he is using his faux "green" image as a golden ticket for his next gig. And
that’s all while dipping into state resources for his little job tour.
The mainstream media won't hold Inslee accountable – you simply cannot count on them to challenge Inslee after a decade of ignoring his
corruption.
We here at Shift WA are all too willing to call out the
hypocrisy and hold Inslee accountable. But
with the month's end creeping in, we're still $1,300 short of our fundraising goal.
Can we count on your support? Chip in $100, $50, or even $25 today to help us shed light of Inslee – and many of his fellow Democrats’ – extreme
climate hypocrisy.
Thank you,
The Shift WA Team
