The state should directly buy, build, and operate affordable housing.

Thank you!

The LeverTime podcast (levernews.com) interviewed well known climate author Bill McKibben, and he mentioned that laws in Europe and Utah make it possible to install solar power on apartment balconies. Please make this happen in Washington State!

Public campaign finance is critical to elect and embolden representatives who truly represent constituents' interests.

Approval voting, ranked choice voting, and similar should be implemented to elect the governor, state senators and representatives, and others.

We lack support from the federal government and there are many needs, from education to affordable housing to mental health treatment: Please raise more taxes, especially on the wealthy! Please pass a wealth tax. Amend the state constitution to replace regressive sales tax with income tax.

Also, if I understand correctly, Bregman asserts that many elites are working meaningless jobs, and some of them are doing so primarily because they don't recognize the alternative opportunities that are available to them, and at some points in the past things were better.

Hello!

A recent Lever article describes a movement in Colorado and Montana to put reasonable and effective limits on corporate influence. I think a policy like this is as important as any other policy Washington state could adopt. Please read the article and please develop similar legislation.

Here is another take on AI and water, etc. that seems great to me. I'm a Hank fan. I linked to the middle of the video but I think the whole thing is worth listening to.

And when I said "Global AI is on track to use 2 trillion gallons in the next couple years" I meant 2 trillion *per year*, starting in 2027.

I honestly don't know how good these sources are. My only biased that I'm aware of was to not read an article about beef water that looked like it was written by the beef industry based on the website name: literally "cattle industry something something".
