Podcast: What would Initiative 1631’s carbon fee do for clean energy, and for gasoline prices?
Washington voters in November will decide whether to approve Initiative 1631, a measure pushed by a big coalition of environmentalists, labor unions, Northwest Indian tribes and others. The proposal has drawn in major oil companies that own refineries in the state – they’ve dropped $20 million to defeat the measure. Supporters have raised $6 million. The outcome will decide whether Washington joins California and British Columbia in putting a price on carbon emissions linked to global warming. I-1631 would raise an estimated $1 billion a year for the state to spend on clean-energy projects, forest restoration and other goals. Estimates say it would raise the cost of gasoline by 14 cents a gallon. On Episode 91 of The Overcast, I-1631 campaign manager Abigail Doerr discusses the case for the measure – which, if passed, would be the first of its kind to be adopted by voters in the U.S. I-1631’s carbon fee would hit refineries, gas distributors and other large … [Read more...] about Podcast: What would Initiative 1631’s carbon fee do for clean energy, and for gasoline prices?

Keith Faber on John Kasich: ‘We got a lot of great things done together’ — Ohio Matters podcast: Episode 33
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Keith Faber said that when he was president of the Ohio Senate, he and Ohio Gov. John Kasich had a good partnership. When Kasich took office in 2010, the state was in dire financial straits -- the famed 89 cents in the rainy day fund. But as the national economy turned around, Kasich and the Republican-controlled state legislature were able to restore the state's finances, he said. "We had a pretty good relationship, the ability to talk and get things done," Faber said during a recent interview for Ohio Matters, cleveland.com's politics podcast. "And we got a lot of great things together." Kasich has become somewhat of a political pariah in the Ohio Republican Party ever since Donald Trump won the presidential election and replaced the pro-Kasich state party leadership with his own. Faber is notable in that he was a huge supporter of Kasich's run for president -- even campaigning for him in 14 states -- who turned around and vocally backed Trump after … [Read more...] about Keith Faber on John Kasich: ‘We got a lot of great things done together’ — Ohio Matters podcast: Episode 33

Here’s a look at a few other stories. Vince Wilfork was on the McCourty twins’ podcast: Former Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork stopped by “Double Coverage,” the podcast hosted by Devin and Jason McCourty. Among myriad topics, including his retirement nap schedule, how he would cover Randy Moss if he was a cornerback, and Tiger Woods, Wilfork offered his thoughts on the 1-2 Patriots: If you look around the league, everybody’s always going to look at the Patriots different, because they’ve been so successful over the years. Basically from 2000 till now, [they’ve] run the NFL. I mean when we talk about the postseason, Patriots are one, OK who’s everyone else? Super Bowl, AFC? OK, so right now you basically have to humble yourself, get back to work. You … [Read more...] about Morning sports update: Vince Wilfork shared advice for the 1-2 Patriots on the McCourty twins’ podcast
