Give us a break...when asked about the $1,000,000.00s of dollars being pumped into Washington State politics...candidate Seth Fleetwood stated that he hasnt seen any of Tom Steyers money? The League of Conservation Voters shares Steyer dollars with Washington Conservation Voters and the Progressive Alliance, making them all recipients of Tom Steyers largesse...Mr. Fleetwood is a beneficiary of that largesse too...follow the money! From Politico 09/30/2014: Seeing no end to gridlock in Congress, national environmental groups are trying a new strategy for winning battles on climate change and green power: pouring record amounts of money into legislative races in a handful of states. The multimillion-dollar push by groups like the League of Conservation Voters and liberal billionaire Tom Steyer’s super PAC aims to secure friendly majorities in the legislatures of states such as Oregon, Washington and Colorado. Victories there could help blunt their grim prospects in D.C., where the all-but-paralyzed U.S. Senate may be in Republican hands after November. In Washington state, where control of the state Senate narrowly rests with a conservative coalition of 24 Republicans and two Democrats, switching just two seats could put green-minded lawmakers in charge. That would help Gov. Jay Inslee’s chances of enacting a market-based carbon reduction program next year. Environmentalists there also hope to block coal export projects and are increasingly worried about trains carrying crude oil.
