While Gov. Jay Inslee has made climate change his signature issue in the lead-up to a potential Presidential campaign, state Rep. Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis, believes the governor’s proposals shouldn’t be the only option on the table when it comes to clean energy.
“I’ve always found that whenever you lead with innovation and incentive you get better result,” DeBolt said, following the release of his multi-pronged plan to address climate issues.
DeBolt has emerged as a GOP leader on climate in the Legislature, calling for an approach more heavy on “carrots” than “sticks.”
