When discussing 2117 with voters, consider the following talking points. 

• The Climate Commitment Act (CCA) has already funded $120 million in Spokane County projects.
• The CCA has funded 8 elementary school bike safety programs.
• The CCA has funded 50 public EV charging stations.
• The CCA has funded $5 million worth of greenhouse gas reductions for our local Kaiser Aluminum plant.
• I-2117 would put at risk $78 million for planned programs in Spokane County.
• It will cost more than $5B to repair and rebuild after last years’ Gray and Oregon Road fires consumed over 350 structures including 240 homes. Where will that money come from if I-2117 passes?
• An additional $440M in long-term funding from CCA could be available to Spokane County from programs the legislature has already identified. 
• Spokane is at risk of losing $650,000 for a carbon capture project at the Waste to Energy plant. 
• I-2117 would take away planned funding for Division Street improvements.
• I-2117 would threaten funding to help landowners in high-risk areas prepare for wildfires by applying safety measures.
• I-2117 cuts funding for programs that lower costs for dairy farmers while protecting groundwater and soil health.
• I-2117 cuts funding for growers and ranches to deploy sustainable practices on their operation.
• I-2117 cuts funding for Washington State University Knott Dairy Center and the Pasco Agricultural Symbiosis Industrial Park.
• I-2117 cuts funding for Eastern Washington University to make its buildings cleaner and more energy efficient.
• Initiative 2117 will hurt our local business community through a reduction in planned financial investments in transportation and wildfire prevention, and impacts to our local workforce.
• $1,913,723 to Eastern Washington University to implement a modular pilot carbon capture system utilizing a novel metal-organic framework to reduce carbon emissions.
