Today, we join the West Coast in enjoying the benefits of a clean fuel standard, which will: →clean up our air, especially around freeways & other busy roads →grow good jobs across our state, including in rural communities →reduce our reliance on a volatile oil market — PolitiTweet.org

For some of these bills this day is a long time coming. I’m thankful to the advocates, legislators, staffers and so many others who have contributed to this monumental effort. We can now say that Washington has some of the most just and ambitious climate policies in the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Today we have a renewed reason for optimism in our fight against the climate crisis. I’m proud to sign into law a package of bills that show how Washington will win that fight. https://t.co/xpPTFvJa1H — PolitiTweet.org

This is part of a continued effort started 25 years ago by Sen. Rosa Franklin who commissioned the state’s first study on environmental justice. Thanks to the sponsor @SenSaldana and legislators, as well as @frontandcenterd, @Duwamishcleanup, @PugetSoundSage & more. — PolitiTweet.org

The HEAL Act will incorporate environmental justice as a core part of what we do, from grant & loan programs to agency legislative proposals. It also creates an environmental justice council to advise state efforts & increases requirements for engaging with impacted communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Righting these inequities must be part of our fight against climate change. Environmental justice is critical to a healthy future for our state. That’s why today I’m signing SB 5141, the HEAL Act, sponsored by Sen. Saldaña. https://t.co/I0PJ60YBN3 — PolitiTweet.org

We know that communities of color and low-income communities have been hit hardest by the impacts of pollution and climate change, often in compounding ways. From where we’ve sited our major roads, airports and factories to the kind of work available in different communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Our natural environment is a precious gift and we have an obligation to protect it. By signing this bill we’re reducing plastic pollution and protecting our waters for future generations. https://t.co/tslbZ03ByY — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

SB 5022 also bans certain polystyrene products & sets recycled content requirements for plastic beverage bottles and other specific items sold in Washington. This means we’ll make less plastic, and the plastic we do make will be less harmful. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I’m starting off today at @SeattleAquarium, where I’m signing SB 5022 sponsored by @senmonadas. This bill makes Washington the first state in the nation to create an upon request policy for single-use plastic service ware. That means less plastic waste & less plastic pollution. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a beautiful day in Washington state. Today, I’m signing five bills that will ensure it’s a beautiful state for our children and grandchildren as well, including: →The Climate Commitment Act →A clean fuel standard →The HEAL Act — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @wsdot and @WADeptHealth for helping get the word out. We're nearing the finish line and vaccination is the key to getting us there. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Washington state has a history of successfully bringing together diverse groups to develop solutions. We’re ready to get to work with Tribes, states, and anyone that wants to find a resolution that works for the Columbia River Basin and the Northwest. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Here’s how we make this a reality: ✅Accelerate Columbia Basin Collaborative to create clear, detailed proposals ✅Honor Tribal treaty rights ✅Infrastructure investments in clean energy, salmon recovery, & more ✅Achieve prompt solutions that ensure all regional voices are heard — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Regional collaboration on a comprehensive solution to protect and bring back salmon populations throughout the Pacific Northwest is needed now more than ever. Here is my statement with @PattyMurray on the road ahead: https://t.co/i2DJh03nAs — PolitiTweet.org

My 12-year-old grandson Brody on why he got vaccinated: “If you get vaccinated now then you can hang out with your friends. Even if kids have a lower rate of getting COVID-19 they still can get it and pass it on. No one is stopping me and no one is stopping you, except yourself.” https://t.co/JVUOthlhPz — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I’m also announcing that we will fully adopt the new masking guidance released by @CDCgov. That means fully vaccinated individuals can go without a mask in many situations. I’m working with @WADeptHealth & @lniwa to provide updated guidance for businesses as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Effective immediately, we’re also allowing additional activities with fewer restrictions for people who are fully vaccinated. Spectator events, conferences, live performances, weddings, funerals and more will no longer limit the number of vaccinated attendees. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Starting Tuesday, all Washington counties will move to Phase 3 of the Healthy Washington plan. We will stay at 50% capacity for most indoor activities until after June 30. However, if statewide ICU capacity reaches 90% at any point we will rollback activities to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

WA could reopen before June 30 if 70% of Washingtonians 16 and older initiate vaccination. Right now, 57% of eligible Washingtonians have received their first dose and 43% are fully vaccinated. If you haven’t scheduled your vaccination yet go to https://t.co/Wv5PnboWWk. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Two weeks ago, I paused our Healthy Washington reopening plan because we saw a plateau in COVID-19 activity. That plateau has become a decline. Because of that, I’m excited to announce a path to fully reopening our state by June 30 or sooner. https://t.co/DtzRBfIS3p — PolitiTweet.org

Today I signed HB 1016, which establishes Juneteenth as a state holiday. We cannot end systemic racism without addressing the role it has played in our nation’s history. Juneteenth is a day of hope, and a reminder of our constant struggle towards equity and justice. — PolitiTweet.org
