About this episode
The episode discusses how high fuel prices in Washington state are inadvertently funding anti-farm activists through surcharges.
Filling up in Washington state right now is even more painful thanks to the Climate Commitment Act surcharges on top of already-high fuel prices. But most people don’t know that some of the extra cash they’re paying for fuel is going to activist groups using it for “community storytelling,” including at least one anti-farm group that’s producing political propaganda films rife with false accusations against WA farmers. Todd Myers, Director of the Center for the Environment at the Washington Policy Center, joins Dillon with details.
