"If the City Council signs off, that will represent a new idea, with long-term consequences."

"what the Mayor is proposing is a permanent “structural change” to how JumpStart revenue is used at the City, funding an individual administration’s priorities ahead of the long-term needs around affordable housing and climate change."

“This structural shortfall requires a structural solution, not stopgap measures that will simply kick the problem another year down the road… Seattle needs and deserves new progressive revenue to help meet our city’s commitments as soon as possible."

Earlier this year, the Legislature appropriated $25 million from carbon market revenue for the tribe to buy back an 11,000-acre parcel of the reservation, the last large privately owned portion, Johnston said. But that money would disappear if Initiative 2117 passes.

The potential effects of a repeal of the Climate Commitment Act go beyond budget sheets. For the Quinault Indian Nation, Initiative 2117 holds hostage an entire forest and an unfulfilled multigenerational dream.

The repeal would also upend Washington’s 16-year transportation budget — about one-third of its total funding — stranding projects as large as building new hybrid-electric ferries and as small as rebates for electric bikes.

If the initiative backers are successful, state lawmakers would face a budget gap of about $836 million that could affect $1.7 billion of already authorized programs and projects.

Vote NO on Initiative 2117! https://t.co/802r7FxCxV
