bribing part of the voters with some sort of climate tax dividend is a sensible policy
It's not really a bribe. If running your leaf blower pollutes the air that others breathe, is a (tiny) payment from you to those people not simply compensation for (tiny) harm you've caused? A carbon tax dividend simply manifests this concept (though aimed at carbon instead of pm2.5)
It's always seemed like a really promising policy that drives many of the right incentives, but getting it passed seems impossible.
