I am in washington state and I think it failed because the implications of the plan was unclear - no one could say how much taxes would be (there were various estimates) and no one had any idea how to use the revenue generated to reduce costs of poorer people - we don't don't have an income tax here so its hard to give govt money back through tax cuts. I supported this and I (naively) think of myself as fairly well informed but for even someone more capable of reading the details it was unclear (there was going to be a state wide panel that would figure out the details)... The earlier carbon tax plan was a lot easier to understand and support. Although it makes people lose their shit, I think we should add an income tax in conjunction with carbon taxes. The state needs more money to pay for infrastructure needs, rich overpaid programmers like me can afford more money to build roads and mass transit faster. Add taxes on carbon fuels and then rebate the costs with tax cuts to poorer people and perhaps it could be neutral for your average person.
