A second bill has been filed that is intended to reduce the governor’s authority to approve new wind and solar energy projects across Washington.

Rep. Mary Dye, R-Pomeroy, has filed a bill that would require county and tribal approval of recommendations to allow clean energy projects made by the Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council.

House Bill 1188 would not allow the Washington governor to approve recommendations if county commissioners for affected counties or tribes do not support it.

If approved by the Legislature and new Gov. Bob Ferguson, the bill would take effect immediately.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I daresay that a state should be able to be free to build such if they choose to.

The other states should never have to pay for their largesse, though.

Most time these writers fail at that.
